Scientists are investigating the potential of virtual reality technology to help combat cocaine addiction. In a new study published in Addictive Behaviors Reports, researchers have demonstrated that virtual reality exposure to cocaine cues can induce significant cravings in users. These findings lay the groundwork for future research into VR as a tool for treating cocaine addiction. Cocaine use poses a significant public health problem, with notable social and economic costs. In the United States, the annual social cost is estimated at $45.5 billion, while in France, the annual prevalence of c...

In a study published in the journal JMIR XR and Spatial Computing, researchers have explored an innovative approach to addressing the mental health crisis among teenagers: virtual reality (VR). They found that a VR environment designed to reduce stress and improve mood was embraced by teens, who used it regularly and reported feeling less stressed and more relaxed during sessions. However, the study did not find significant reductions in overall levels of anxiety and depression. Teens today face an array of unprecedented stressors: social media pressures, the climate crisis, political polariza...
