    Virtual reality has a history dating back to the 1830s but saw rapid growth and development in the 1990s as a gaming and simulation technology. It now has applications in healthcare for training medical professionals, managing pain, and treating various mental health conditions. VR allows for immersive simulations that can decrease anxiety, improve surgical outcomes, and reduce the need for pain medications. However, there are still concerns regarding patient safety, a lack of regulation, high costs, and limited insurance coverage that must be addressed as VR's role in healthcare continues to expand.
