To evaluate the effect of virtual reality therapy on anxiety disorders in adolescents and adults by Meta-analysis.
A comprehensive literature search was conducted by PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane (from inception to November 2024). Two researchers independently performed literature screening, quality evaluation and data extraction, and Stata16.0 and Review Man 5.4 software were used for Meta-analysis.
A total of 33 studies involving 3182 adolescents and adults with anxiety disorders were included. The results of Meta-analysis showed that compared with conventional interventions, virtual reality therapy significantly improved the symptoms and level of anxiety in patients with anxiety disorder [SMD = -0.95, 95%CI (-1.22,-0.69), Z = 7.05, P < 0.00001].
The current findings suggest that VR therapy interventions have a positive effect on improving the anxiety state of patients with anxiety disorders. The aforementioned research findings must be confirmed by more high-caliber studies due to the number and quality limitations of the contained literature.

通过Meta分析评估虚拟现实疗法对青少年和成人焦虑症的疗效。
通过PubMed、Web of Science、Embase、CINAHL、Scopus、Cochrane（从创刊至2024年11月）进行全面的文献检索。两名研究人员独立进行文献筛选、质量评估和数据提取，并使用Stata16.0和Review Man 5.4软件进行Meta分析。
共纳入33项研究，涉及3182名患有焦虑症的青少年和成人。Meta分析结果显示，与传统干预措施相比，虚拟现实疗法显著改善了焦虑症患者的症状和焦虑水平[标准化均数差（SMD）=-0.95，95%置信区间（CI）（-1.22，-0.69），Z=7.05，P<0.00001]。
目前的研究结果表明，虚拟现实疗法干预对改善焦虑症患者的焦虑状态具有积极作用。由于所纳入文献的数量和质量限制，上述研究结果必须通过更多高质量的研究加以证实。
