Reuters has a story up stating how video games can be used for therapeutic purposes. They provide a story of a young boy who was in an accident, and how he was able to recover from a coma and overcome odds, thanks to video gaming used as therapy.

Ethan and his parents attribute his most recent progress to neuro-feedback training on the CyberLearning Technology LLC system, which is often used to play car racing video games.

“In the last year, we’ve seen the Ethan we knew before the accident,” said Howard Myers, the teenager’s father.
