The control group did not receive any intervention. Results were analyzed through ANOVA and Bonferroni Post-hoc Test with SPSS-۲۳.Findings: The results showed that both therapies appeared effective (F=۱۹۲; Eta=۰.۶۷; P< ۰۰۰۱) on people with the disorder as they reduced obsession syndromes. Also, the follow-up test indicated that there is no significant difference between the effectiveness of these two therapies on subjects with obsessive-compulsive disorder (P< ۰.۰۵).Conclusion: According to the results, since there is no difference in the effectiveness of virtual reality exposure therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy, both can be applied to reduce obsession syndromes amongst people with the disorder.Objective: Obsessive-compulsive disorder affects the cognitive, mental and emotional order of sufferers and leads to a decrease in their performance.
