Thirty participants who had been treated for aviophobia with virtual reality graded exposure therapy with physiological monitoring and visual feedback (VRGETpm), virtual reality graded exposure therapy with physiological monitoring only (VRGETno), or imaginal exposure therapy (visualization) with physiological monitoring only (IET) between January 1998 and January 1999 were contacted in January 2002 for a 3-year posttreatment follow-up assessment. Of the participants in the VRGETpm group who had flown successfully by the end of treatment, all had maintained their ability to fly at follow-up. Of the participants in the VRGETno group who had flown successfully by the end of treatment, two were no longer able to fly. Of the participants in the IET group who had flown successfully, all were still able to fly. It appears that the addition of teaching self-control via visual feedback of physiological signals may serve to maintain treatment gains in long-term follow-up.
1998年1月至1999年1月期间，30名接受过虚拟现实分级暴露疗法（伴有生理监测和视觉反馈，即VRGETpm）、仅伴有生理监测的虚拟现实分级暴露疗法（VRGETno）或仅伴有生理监测的想象暴露疗法（可视化，即IET）治疗飞行恐惧症的参与者，于2002年1月接受了为期3年的治疗后随访评估。在治疗结束时已成功飞行的VRGETpm组参与者中，所有人在随访时都保持了飞行能力。在治疗结束时已成功飞行的VRGETno组参与者中，有两人不再能够飞行。在已成功飞行的IET组参与者中，所有人仍能飞行。通过生理信号的视觉反馈增加自我控制教学似乎有助于在长期随访中维持治疗效果。
