AB Background: Virtual Reality (VR) uses computer technology to create a simulated environment.VR is a growing technology with promising extensive applications in different areas such asMedicine, entertainment, sports, gaming, and simulation. However, information about VR sideeffects is still limited. We aimed to identify the most frequent physical side effects caused byVR therapeutic applications.Methodology: All available full-text articles evaluating VR as a therapeutic intervention andside effects using the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ) between 2016 and 2021 wereconsulted across 4 electronic (Entrez Pubmed, Scopus, Science Direct, and Wiley databases).The methodological quality was assessed using the PEDro scale.Results: Ten out of 55 reviewed articles (18%) met inclusion/exclusion criteria, including asample of 416 patients, mean age of 24.54 (15—52.6) years old. According to the PEDro scale,two articles (20%) were considered good or excellent. Side effects were reported more frequently with head-mounted displays compared to desktop systems, especially disorientation,followed by nausea and oculomotor disturbances.Conclusions: Although VR might have positive effects as a therapeutic tool, VR can also causeside events. As in any othertherapeutic intervention, itis importantto understand the effectiveness and safety before planning a VR intervention using a well-designed scientific methodology.
