Mitigating Psychological Trauma on Adult Burn Patients Based on Virtual Reality Technology of Smart Medical Treatment

Area of Science:

• Neuroscience
• Psychology
• Computer Science

Background:

• Virtual Reality (VR) is gaining attention in computing.
• Psychological trauma is a significant issue for burn patients.
• Smart medical treatments offer new therapeutic avenues.

Purpose of the Study:

• To explore the efficacy of VR technology in mitigating psychological trauma for adult burn patients.
• To investigate the use of EEG biofeedback within a smart medical treatment framework.

Main Methods:

• EEG data acquisition, denoising, and feature extraction.
• Real-time VR scene adjustment based on processed EEG data.
• VR biofeedback training for patient self-regulation.

Main Results:

• The VR treatment group showed statistically significant alleviation of itching and pain compared to controls (P > 0.05).
• The system facilitated real-time feedback and patient self-adjustment.
• Positive effects on psychological intervention for patients with facial injuries were observed.

Conclusions:

• VR-based EEG biofeedback is a promising tool for psychological intervention in burn patients.
• This smart medical approach can effectively reduce pain, itching, and improve mental health.
• The study highlights the potential of VR in guided self-regulation for trauma recovery.
