Official title
Immediate and Cumulative Effects of Meditation on Voice Therapy Using Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR)
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study aims to explore the feasibility of incorporating regular guided meditations via immersive virtual reality (IVR) at the start of voice therapy sessions to facilitate better learning and retention of treatment. The study will involve 30 participants, and use the TRIPP application with the Meta Quest 2 virtual reality headset, known for its immersive meditation experiences designed to calm or focus the user. The objective is to investigate the immediate effects of meditation/mindfulness in IVR on vocal production, with the goal of improving self-regulation, attentional focus, and reducing vocal hyperfunction. IVR has been utilized in mental health settings and exposure therapy for various conditions, but its application in voice therapy, particularly for anxiety reduction through fully immersive meditation, remains unexplored. The study seeks to determine whether IVR can enhance therapy outcomes by improving engagement, attention, and vocal control in individuals undergoing voice therapy, potentially maximizing treatment gains. Through this research, the aim is to assess the efficacy of IVR in enhancing voice therapy interventions and addressing the unique challenges posed by stress and anxiety in voice users.
