Improving Quality of Life in Bipolar Disorders with an Immersive Virtual Reality Remediation Training Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT).

ABSTRACT: Background: Health-related quality of life (H-QoL) is a critical measure in bipolar disorder (BD). Recent trials using virtual reality (VR) have shown potential in improving H-QoL. However, VR's effect on the H-QoL of people with BD needs to be further explored. Methods: This study involved a secondary analysis of a feasibility randomized controlled trial, focusing on "quality of life". Participants (aged 18-75) diagnosed with bipolar disorder were randomized into two groups. The experimental group used the CEREBRUM VR app, while the control group received the usual care. Quality of life was assessed using the Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12). Results: A total of 39 individuals in the experimental group and 25 in the control group represent the final samples.
