Study of brain and therapy factors in trauma-related dissociation
Part of Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how dissociation (feeling detached or unreal) works in people who have had trauma. It tests different “mechanistic” approaches to better understand the brain and how to help, and whether participation can reduce these symptoms.

This trial studies whether EMDR therapy helps reduce depressive symptoms and what factors predict improvement. It is open to patients with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or dissociation symptoms.
This study tests a brain stimulation method to help prevent PTSD in people who recently experienced a traumatic event and have high stress symptoms. It aims to build resilience and reduce the risk of long-term PTSD.
This study looks at brain activity and biology in women who have PTSD or dissociative identity disorder (DID) with a history of childhood abuse or neglect. It may help researchers understand what causes “traumatic dissociation” and how it develops.
This study looks at how common dissociative identity disorder (a condition where a person may have two or more distinct identities) is in adults who experienced trauma as children. Participants will undergo a psychological evaluation to help researchers understand the link between childhood trauma and dissociative symptoms.
This trial tests a type of talk therapy called dissociation-focused cognitive behavior therapy for people with dissociative disorders (like feeling detached from yourself or having multiple identities). It aims to see if this therapy can help reduce symptoms.
This trial studies a therapy called Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) combined with group sessions for people with complex dissociative disorder, such as dissociative identity disorder (DID) or other specified dissociative disorder (OSDD). The goal is to help process trauma in a safe and supportive setting.
