| General note | Virtual Reality (VR) has emerged as a promising tool in healthcare<br/>management, with recent studies exploring its effectiveness in addressing<br/>various psychological and physiological disorders. Stress is prevalent in<br/>modern society, necessitating effective strategies for its management. While<br/>sports and extended reality (XR) gaming have shown promising effects on<br/>mental health, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of VR in<br/>reducing stress by comparing conventional and VR-based relaxation<br/>techniques using HRV parameters and EEG responses. A total of 40<br/>participants (28 males, 12 females) with a mean age of 25 ± 3.21 years<br/>participated in the study. Baseline recordings were obtained, followed by a<br/>stress phase induced by a timed IQ quiz. Participants were then randomly<br/>assigned to either VR-based relaxation or conventional relaxation<br/>techniques. Both relaxation methods significantly improved heart rate<br/>variability (HRV) and decreased sympathetic dominance, indicating<br/>enhanced adaptability to stress and activation of the parasympathetic<br/>nervous system (PNS).However, VR-based relaxation resulted in a more<br/>pronounced decrease in heart rate and a significant reduction in the LF/HF<br/>ratio compared to conventional relaxation, suggesting a deeper state ofxv<br/>relaxation. Furthermore, VR-based relaxation led to a significant increase in<br/>the alpha-to-beta ratio, indicating a calmer mental state compared to non-VR<br/>relaxation. Notable changes were also recorded in Alpha Power in the<br/>frontal channels and Beta Power across all channels, suggesting greater<br/>effectiveness in inducing PNS activation and recovery. |
