The purpose of this study was to examine whether a virtual reality plus neurofeedback (VR+NF) meditation experience (experimental condition) was more effective than a standard guided audio-only meditation (control condition) in improving mood in one hundred healthcare workers.Data collection occurred in a hospital setting between October, 2020 and March, Minimal residual disease (MRD) detection in solid tumors using circulating tumor DNA: a systematic review 2021 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.Participants were alternately assigned to one of the two conditions.Before and after the meditation experience, participants completed the Brunel Mood Scale.
Results indicated that both groups showed a similar and significant decrease in Anger, Tension, and Depression.On scales measuring Vigor, Fatigue, and Confusion, the VR+NF group showed decreases, while the audio-only group showed no significant change.The VR+NF group showed significant increases on the Calmness and Happiness scales, which did not change significantly in the audio-only group.These results suggest that the addition of VR and neurofeedback may increase the positive Non-communicable diseases and its risk factors among the transgender population in Kerala: a cross-sectional study outcomes associated with standard audio-guided meditation.
These increased benefits may be due to the sense of presence intrinsic to VR, the inclusion of nature-based scenes in the VR experience, as well as the increased self-awareness created by the addition of neurofeedback.As the pre and post measures take place within one 50-min session, further studies assessing the longer-term changes are needed.
