Research on Therapeutic Effects of
Artistic VR in Neurological Patients
Artistic VR in Neurological Patients
Several significant research papers have documented the therapeutic benefits of artistic virtual reality applications for neurological patients. Here are some of the most notable studies:
D'Cunha NM, Nguyen D, Naumovski N, McKune AJ, Kellett J, Georgousopoulou EN, Frost J, Isbel S. A Mini-Review of Virtual Reality-Based Interventions to Promote Well-Being for People Living with Dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment. Gerontology. 2019;65(4):430-440. doi: 10.1159/000500040. Epub 2019 May 20. PMID: 31108489.

“Transported to a better place”: The influence of virtual reality on the behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia,

Abstract: Emerging research supports that institutionalisation may contribute to the development of the behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia. Many studies have documented that Virtual Reality can enhance symptom management in people diagnosed with dementia. We design a Virtual Reality system to improve the symptom management of people diagnosed with dementia residing in long-term care services. Twenty people with dementia were enrolled in the study to evaluate the developed solution. Following semi-structured interviews and observations, a thematic analysis was conducted to analyse the results of the system. Heart Rate and Eye-tracking data were recorded to enhance the reliability of the findings. Our findings indicate that Virtual Reality might be able to improve the quality of life of people diagnosed with dementia, as it is highly effective in reducing behavioral and psychological symptoms associated with dementia, including aggression, agitation, anxiety, apathy, and depression. Additionally, Virtual Reality was found to be a possible solution for pain management, reminiscence therapy, and dementia diagnosis.
