Testing dual attention during EMDR therapy for PTSD
Part of Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding “dual attention” to EMDR therapy helps people with high PTSD symptoms. If you have significant PTSD symptoms, this approach may improve how well the therapy works, but it depends on safety and recent treatment history.

This study tests whether EMDR therapy (a structured way to help process distressing experiences) helps children ages 3 to 6 who have symptoms related to trauma, stress, or anxiety. You’d be randomly assigned to receive the study therapy or a comparison condition, and researchers would track outcomes.
This study tests an app that uses EMDR therapy to help people with both PTSD and substance use problems. EMDR is a type of therapy that uses eye movements or taps to help process traumatic memories. You would use the app at home and avoid starting other new therapies during the study.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS (theta-burst stimulation) can help EMDR therapy work better for PTSD. It adds brain stimulation sessions before or during EMDR therapy to see if it speeds up recovery.
This trial studies whether a therapy focused on attention can reduce post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. You may qualify if you have PTSD diagnosed by standard questionnaires and interviews, and if you can safely take part in the therapy sessions.
This study tests a concentrated two-week outpatient program designed to help people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) recover from trauma. The goal is to see if intensive treatment delivered over a short period can effectively reduce PTSD symptoms.
