Introduction: In line with previous research conducted during chemotherapy to explore whether virtual reality (VR) can support patients’ emotional regulation, this study examines the relevance of adding olfactory reinforcement VR sessions breast cancer treatment. Methods: An experimental protocol assessed impact sensoriality in 50 patients over three sessions. Each patient experienced a 10-min immersion natural environment under randomized conditions: Contemplative VR, Participatory reinforcement. The sense presence measured immersion, while anxiety, depression, and state were evaluated using within-subject design compare effects each modality. Results: A reduction anxiety depression was observed regardless type experienced. interactive multimodal nature may their regulation. Conclusions: This provides preliminary evidence for usefulness enhancement patients. potential contributes by inducing positive experience soothing environment. reported results highlight value sensorimotor which also stimulates smell, improving supportive care.
