The present study aims to overcome these limitations by using mixed reality for ERP (MERP). The objectives of this pilot study were to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and acceptance of MERP and to identify possible obstacles.METHODS: Twenty inpatients with contamination-related OCD were recruited and randomized to two conditions: MERP (six sessions in 3 weeks) and care as usual treatment. Patients were assessed before treatment (baseline), after the 3-week intervention period (post), as well as 3 months after post assessment (follow-up) regarding symptomatology (Y-BOCS).RESULTS: Results showed a similar reduction in symptomatology in both groups from baseline to post. Regarding safety, no clinically significant deterioration was detected in the MERP group. Patients' evaluation of the MERP was heterogeneous. The qualitative feedback provided helpful indications for further development of the software. Sense of presence was below the midpoint of the scales.CONCLUSION: This is the first study evaluating a MERP for patients with OCD that shows cautious evidence for the acceptance and safety of MERP.
