Virtual Reality Therapy Research Consent Form

Conducting virtual reality therapy research requires careful participant screening and informed consent. This VR Therapy Research Consent Form streamlines the enrollment process by capturing motion sickness history, VR experience levels, session recording agreements, and adverse event reporting protocols—all in one professional, HIPAA-friendly document.

Designed for research institutions, mental health clinics, universities, and therapy innovation labs, this template helps you maintain ethical research standards while creating a smooth onboarding experience for study participants. The form guides participants through essential disclosure questions, medical screening criteria, and clear consent language that protects both researchers and volunteers.

Paperform makes it easy to customize this template to match your institution's branding and specific IRB requirements. Use conditional logic to show relevant follow-up questions based on participants' VR experience or medical history. Add file upload fields for physician clearance forms if needed, or integrate with your research management tools via Stepper (stepper.io) to automatically notify your study coordinators when new participants enroll.

Once participants complete the form, use Papersign (papersign.com) to send the formal consent document for secure eSignature, creating a complete audit trail that meets institutional review board standards. All participant data is stored securely with SOC 2 Type II compliance, giving you peace of mind that sensitive research information is protected.

Whether you're studying VR exposure therapy for phobias, pain management applications, or cognitive rehabilitation protocols, this template provides the foundation for ethical, organized participant recruitment that helps your research move forward with confidence.
