“…Digital reality is constantly evolving, so its impact on human health is changing and requires the updating of knowledge. On the other hand, there are already many areas of the use of virtual technologies, such as precise (neuro)diagnostics and effective support in the treatment of a wide range of diseases (also those related to the nervous system), including the latest findings in neuroscience, such as the phenomena of (neuro)plasticity or mirror neuron networks [31][32][33].…”

“…2023 [31] Based on the current literature, the authors document that VR therapy has the potential to effectively treat PLP, and they identify additional benefits by adding vibrotactile stimuli to VR therapy. This approach leads to even greater pain reduction compared to VR therapy alone.…”

“…Novel VR-based technologies are constantly developing, and their areas of application are expanding and even overlapping, as we see in neuroscience. Table 1 presents and indicates examples of neuroscientific areas of using virtual environments and tools, including pain management [31,[56][57][58], improvement of brain injury patients [5,26,[59][60][61], post-stroke [10,20,25,33,[65][66][67], prevention, and diagnosis and therapy of many serious illnesses. Examples include diseases such as neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., attentiondeficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD [22,80,81]); schizophrenia spectrum disorders (e.g., schizophrenia [82,83]); autism spectrum disorders (e.g., autism [84,85]); mood (e.g., depressive disorders [86,87]), anxiety (e.g., panic and phobias [74][75][76]), trauma-and stressorrelated (e.g., post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD [73]), neurocognitive (e.g., Parkinson's or Alzheimer's and memory cognitive impairment diseases [23,24,47,[69][70][71][72][77][78][79]) and neuromuscular disorders (e.g., multiple sclerosis [32,…”

“…Although unusual and unexpected challenges are only beginning to be encountered, VR environments make it possible to expand the scope of research on perception, cognitive and motor imagery, and the effects of different learning and teaching pathways. In this context, studies of neuroplasticity phenomena, including the effects of applied virtual (mirror) tasks and training, are of interest in virtual prevention, neurogeriatrics, neurotherapy and neurorehabilitation [5,[31][32][33]36,42,58,61].…”

Background: Dynamic technological development and its enormous impact on modern societies are posing new challenges for 21st-century neuroscience. A special place is occupied by technologies based on virtual reality (VR). VR tools have already played a significant role in both basic and clinical neuroscience due to their high accuracy, sensitivity and specificity and, above all, high ecological value. Objective: Being in a digital world affects the functioning of the body as a whole and its individual systems. The data obtained so far, both from experimental and modeling studies, as well as (clinical) observations, indicate their great and promising potential, but apart from the benefits, there are also losses and negative consequences for users. Methods: This review was conducted according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework across electronic databases (such as Web of Science Core Collection; PubMed; and Scopus, Taylor & Francis Online and Wiley Online Library) to identify beneficial effects and applications, as well as adverse impacts, especially on brain health in human neuroscience. Results: More than half of these articles were published within the last five years and represent state-of-the-art approaches and results (e.g., 54.7% in Web of Sciences and 63.4% in PubMed), with review papers accounting for approximately 16%. The results show that in addition to proposed novel devices and systems, various methods or procedures for testing, validation and standardization are presented (about 1% of articles). Also included are virtual developers and experts, (bio)(neuro)informatics specialists, neuroscientists and medical professionals. Conclusions: VR environments allow for expanding the field of research on perception and cognitive and motor imagery, both in healthy and patient populations. In this context, research on neuroplasticity phenomena, including mirror neuron networks and the effects of applied virtual (mirror) tasks and training, is of interest in virtual prevention and neurogeriatrics, especially in neurotherapy and neurorehabilitation in basic/clinical and digital neuroscience.

“…Two systematic reviews reported a decrease in PLP scores following a single VR session or a VR intervention consisting of multiple sessions, an effect that was more significant when combining VR with tactile stimulation. It is interesting to consider that VR stimulation can active different cerebral regions, leading to a reduction of the maladaptive cortical reorganization associated with PLP [48,49].…”

(1) Background: VR is based on a virtual world that creates sounds effects and videos that replace the real environment. Arising literature shows VR efficacy in the field of neurological rehabilitation (NR) and that its use is also taking a place in musculoskeletal rehabilitation (MSR), as a treatment of various disorders that cause disability and chronic pain. (2) Aim: We discuss the role of VR in MSR, presenting its use and development on acute and chronic musculoskeletal disorders, based on the most recent literature. (3) Design and Methods: Literature searches were conducted in the databases Pubmed and Medline up to 30 September 2023. The PRISMA-Scr Checklist was followed. (4) Results: A total of 51 records were included. The analysed studies were conducted within a variety of populations, musculoskeletal disorders, settings, and VR technologies. Only a few studies could statistically affirm the efficacy of VR in MSR, as mentioned for the rehabilitation of the upper limb. Nevertheless, the observed trend is an improvement of the global perceived effect compared to traditional rehabilitation. (5) Conclusion: VR allows for the personalisation of treatment with an adaptable treatment platform, which may improve the participation of the patient and increase acceptability and adherence to long-term rehabilitation programs. We provide recommendations and suggestions for future research and use of VR in musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
