Biloxi VA medical center introduces VR therapy
SUMMARY: A special training course on virtual reality-based exposure therapy is being introduced at the Biloxi VA Medical Center in Mississippi. The program aims to help treat patients, particularly military veterans, with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Patients can use virtual reality headsets to revisit their experiences in a controlled manner and create new, less traumatizing memories. The nonprofit organization “Soldier Strong” has donated more than 30 headsets to the VA for this program. Clinical psychologists and innovation specialists at the Gulf Coast VA are supporting the use of virtual reality therapy, citing evidence that it works effectively.
Patients can begin using the VR devices at the Biloxi VA Medical Center following the group's final training session Thursday.
