VRET can facilitate exposure that would otherwise be impractical. AI offers growing possibilities to personalize VRET, potentially improving its effectiveness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Inclusion criteria<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We included peer-reviewed journal articles published up to November 14, 2025.
