Resumo

Um crescente número de pesquisas têm surgido sobre a aplicação da terapia de exposição por realidade virtual (VRET) para transtornos ansiosos. O objetivo deste estudo foi revisar algumas evidências que apoiam a eficácia da VRET para tratar fobia de dirigir. Os estudos foram identificados por meio de buscas computadorizadas (PubMed/Medline, Web of Science e Scielo databases) no período de 1984 a 2007. Alguns achados são promissores. Índices de ansiedade/evitação caíram entre o início e o fim do tratamento. VRET poderia ser um primeiro passo no tratamento da fobia de dirigir, uma vez que pode facilitar a exposição ao vivo, evitando-se os riscos e elevados custos dessa exposição. Entretanto, mais estudos clínicos randomizados/controlados são necessários para comprovar sua eficácia.
