Abstract: (5 Views)
Objective: This study investigated the efficacy of mixed reality (MR)-assisted exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy in alleviating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms.
Methods: Using a quasi-experimental design, 40 individuals with OCD were selected via convenience sampling and randomly assigned to either an intervention group (n=20) receiving 12 sessions of MR-based ERP therapy or a control group (n=20) with no intervention. Symptom severity was assessed using the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) at pre-test, post-test, and six-month follow-up.
Results: Repeated measures ANOVA revealed a significant group × time interaction in obsession scores (p < 0.001, η² = 0.395). The intervention group exhibited a substantial reduction in symptoms from pre-test to post-test, with effects persisting at follow-up, while the control group showed no significant change.
Conclusions: Findings suggest that MR-enhanced ERP therapy is an effective and durable intervention for reducing OCD symptoms, supporting its integration into future treatment protocols.
