Testing an EMDR app for PTSD and substance use
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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 trial is testing a software program (like an app) designed to help treat PTSD. It may be an option if your PTSD is related to a past traumatic event and you haven't already tried several trauma-focused therapies.
This study tests combining addiction treatment with EMDR therapy for people with both a substance use disorder and PTSD or complex PTSD. It aims to see how well the integrated treatment works.
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 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.
