This study reports the 12-month follow-up from patients with the fear of flying who were treated in a controlled study and randomly assigned (n = 49) to virtual reality exposure (VRE) therapy, standard exposure (SE) therapy, or to a wait-list control (WL). VRE and SE were equally superior to WL. At 12 months posttreatment, data were gathered on 24 of the 30 (80%) patients who were assigned to VRE or SE. Patients maintained their treatment gains, and 92% of VRE participants and 91% of SE participants had flown on a real airplane since the graduation flight. This is the 1st year-long follow-up of patients having been treated with VRE and indicates that short-term treatment can have lasting effects.
本研究报告了在一项对照研究中接受治疗的飞行恐惧症患者的12个月随访情况。这些患者被随机分配（n = 49）接受虚拟现实暴露（VRE）疗法、标准暴露（SE）疗法或进入等待名单对照组（WL）。VRE和SE均显著优于WL。在治疗后12个月，收集了分配到VRE或SE组的30名患者中24名（80%）的数据。患者维持了治疗效果，自毕业飞行以来，92%的VRE参与者和91%的SE参与者乘坐过真正的飞机。这是对接受VRE治疗患者的首次长达一年的随访，表明短期治疗可能具有持久效果。
