SUSPENDED
Augmenting Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy for Acrophobia
Description

This study will examine whether tactile feedback and point-based rewards can be used to improve outcomes from virtual reality exposure therapy for acrophobia.

UNKNOWN
Anti-phobic and Safety Behaviors in the Treatment of Acrophobia
Description

This study tests whether a single session of exposure therapy may be enhanced by the addition of anti-phobic actions beyond the mere fading of safety behaviors. A total of 100 acrophobic participants will be randomly assigned to receive standard exposure therapy (EXP), exposure therapy with safety behavior fading (EXP + SBF), exposure with safety behavior fading and anti-phobic actions (EXP + SBF + AA), or to a wait-list control group (WL).

COMPLETED
D-Cycloserine to Enhance Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Acrophobia
Description

The purpose of this study is to investigate the utility of post-session administration of D-cycloserine to enhance fear extinction in a sample of people with acrophobia who will be treated with CBT.

COMPLETED
Exercise and Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy for Acrophobia
Description

The purpose of this study is to determine whether aerobic exercise can enhance the effects of exposure therapy treatment for fear of heights.

RECRUITING
Virtual Reality Intervention for Fear of Heights
Description

Exposure-based cognitive behavior therapy is an efficacious treatment for acrophobia (fear of heights) and has been delivered effectively in a virtual reality (VR) environment. The present study is designed to evaluate the effects of liked, non-lyrical background music on the efficacy of a brief VR exposure intervention.

Conditions
UNKNOWN
3D Video Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy Study
Description

This study seeks to examine a Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy (VRET) using the 3D Video Virtual Reality (VR) technology for the fear of spiders.

COMPLETED
Virtual Reality Exposure Versus In Vivo Exposure for Fear of Heights
Description

This study randomly assigned 114 participants with significant fear of heights to one of three conditions: a) a single session of virtual reality exposure; b) a single session of in vivo exposure; or c) a control condition. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of virtual reality exposure to the efficacy of in vivo exposure or no exposure for participants with significant fear of heights.

UNKNOWN
D-Cycloserine-Enhancer of One-Session Treatment for Phobia of Heights
Description

The study will determine the effects of D-Cycloserine (DCS) on fear reduction in patients diagnosed with phobia of heights (acrophobia) undergoing one session of three hours of virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) or in vivo exposure therapy (IVET).
