VR-enhanced CBT shows greater efficacy than CBT in reducing situation-induced body dissatisfaction and frequency of binges. Our results highlight the potential of VR in helping patients develop coping strategies to food/situational triggers. Future RCTs may benefit from recruiting more participants to reduce the impact of drop-outs on outcome data and blinding post-intervention assessors to reduce risk of bias.
