Development and early evaluation of the Virtual Iraq/Afghanistan exposure therapy system for combat‐related PTSD
Abstract
Numerous reports indicate that the growing incidence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in returning Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF)/Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) military personnel is creating a significant health care and economic challenge. These findings have served to motivate research on how to better develop and disseminate evidence‐based treatments for PTSD. Virtual reality‐delivered exposure therapy for PTSD has been previously used with reports of positive outcomes. The current paper will detail the development and early results from use of the Virtual Iraq/Afghanistan exposure therapy system. The system consists of a series of customizable virtual scenarios designed to represent relevant Middle Eastern contexts for exposure therapy, including a city and desert road convoy environment. The process for gathering user‐centered design feedback from returning OEF/OIF military personnel and from a system deployed in Iraq (as was needed to iteratively evolve the system) will be discussed, along with a brief summary of results from an open clinical trial using Virtual Iraq with 20 treatment completers, which indicated that 16 no longer met PTSD checklist‐military criteria for PTSD after treatment.

“Many previously studied VR paradigms have included features that allowed the user to customize the environment to fit their therapeutic needs, including the “Virtual Iraq/Afghanistan” paradigm developed for PTSD treatment that allowed users to recreate specific traumatic scenarios (Rizzo et al. 2010).”
From Better, Virtually: the Past, Present, and Future of Virtual Reality Cognitive Behavior Therapy (2021) · cites this paper as Rizzo et al. 2010
In the citing paper
“Rizzo et al. (39), for example, recreated a virtual war scenario in the Virtual Iraq environment for veterans suffering from PTSD to expose them to their traumatic experiences thus helping the patient to modify and emotionally process pathological and dysfunctional structures.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
