  • Thirty-eight studies, primarily randomized controlled trials, were included, confirming the clinical efficacy of VRET.
  • The systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines and discovered ethical concerns like data privacy and algorithmic bias.
  • VRET demonstrated high patient engagement and lower dropout rates compared to traditional therapies, indicating its potential.
