Eye movement technique for reducing intrusive trauma memories
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a specific eye movement technique, done at home on a computer, can help reduce distressing, intrusive memories after trauma. If you've been having frequent, unwanted trauma memories, this could help you gain better control over them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been through a traumatic event, like a serious accident, violence, or threat to life.
- You've had at least five unwanted, upsetting memories of the trauma in the past week.
- You have internet access and a personal computer to do the study tasks from home.
- Your vision is normal (or corrected with glasses/contacts) and you can do computer-based eye movement exercises.
- You don't have severe mental health or medical conditions (like psychosis, epilepsy, or serious brain injury) that could interfere with the study.

This study tests a computer-based program designed to reduce the impact of intrusive memories that follow a traumatic event. If you have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and have frequent intrusive memories, this might help ease their frequency and emotional weight.
This study tests whether playing Tetris after a brief memory reminder can help reduce the number of intrusive memories you experience after a traumatic event. It might help your brain process the memory in a way that makes it less intrusive.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can help reduce intrusive memories in people with PTSD. It uses MRI to guide the stimulation, and you will be randomly assigned to receive either active TMS or a placebo-like treatment.
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 trial studies whether EMDR (a structured therapy that helps process distressing memories) can reduce PTSD symptoms in people who developed PTSD after a cardiac event. It may help you feel less overwhelmed by memories and stress related to the heart event.
This study compares two types of therapy—EMDR and imagery rescripting—to help people who have upsetting memories or nightmares from past events. It's for people with depression or PTSD, and you'll need to come to therapy twice a week.
