Abstract

Background

Virtual Reality (VR) based diagnostic and therapeutic interventions have opened up new possibilities for addressing the challenges in identifying and treating individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).

Aim

To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials to investigate the impact of Immersive VR techniques on the cognitive, social, and emotional skills of under-18 children and adolescents with ASD.

Methods and procedures

Four databases were systematically searched as per “Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses” guidelines and assessed six RCTs for further analysis. The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool was used to assess the methodological quality of the studies.

Outcomes

Pooled results favoured VR and reported significant differences between experimental and control groups concerning social skills (SMD:1.43; 95 % CI: 0.01–2.84; P: 0.05), emotional skills (SMD: 2.45; 95 % CI: 0.21–4.18; P: 0.03) and cognitive skills.

Conclusion

VR offers an array of benefits that make it a promising tool for children and adolescents with ASD to improve their cognitive, social and emotional skills in a safe and supportive setting. However, accessibility, affordability, customization, and cost are also significant aspects to consider when developing and implementing VR-based interventions for ASD.

基于沉浸式虚拟现实的培训对自闭症谱系障碍儿童和青少年认知、社交和情感技能的影响：随机对照试验荟萃分析。

背景：目的：对随机对照试验进行系统回顾和荟萃分析，研究沉浸式 VR 技术对 18 岁以下自闭症儿童和青少年的认知、社交和情感技能的影响：根据 "系统综述和元分析首选报告项目 "指南，对四个数据库进行了系统检索，并评估了六项研究性对照试验，以便进行进一步分析。采用 Cochrane 偏倚风险工具评估研究的方法学质量：汇总结果显示，VR 更受青睐，实验组和对照组在社交技能（SMD：1.43；95 % CI：0.01-2.84；P：0.05）、情感技能（SMD：2.45；95 % CI：0.21-4.18；P：0.03）和认知技能方面存在显著差异：虚拟现实技术具有一系列优点，因此对于患有自闭症的儿童和青少年来说，它是一种很有前途的工具，可以在安全和支持性的环境中提高他们的认知、社交和情感技能。然而，在开发和实施基于 VR 的 ASD 干预措施时，可及性、可负担性、定制化和成本也是需要考虑的重要方面。
