The role of non-pharmacological interventions in attenuating anxiety and stress symptoms in PTSD: A systematic review (Current Neuropharmacology)

A systematic review to examine the role of non-pharmacological PTSD treatments and symptom amelioration, including EMDR.

Reducing trauma-related parental stress in neurodevelopmental disorders: A randomized feasibility study (European Journal of Pediatrics)

This study aimed to explore the feasibility of the EMDR Integrative Group Treatment for Ongoing Traumatic Stress (EMDR-IGTP-OTS) focused on reducing traumatic stress symptoms in parents of children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs).

Reducing PTSD symptoms through unconscious intervention (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America)

This study demonstrates that subliminally presenting trauma-related images during an eye-movement exercise can effectively alleviate PTSD symptoms while bypassing the distress of conscious exposure.

The timing of attentional distraction matters in facilitating extinction of trace fear memory (Experimental Neurobiology)

Research results show that attentional distraction facilitates trace fear extinction, and proper timing is a necessary condition for a sensory stimulation to effectively facilitate trace fear extinction.

A mixed-methods service evaluation for group traumatic episode protocol (G-TEP) for clients with heterogeneous trauma histories in an NHS outpatient psychological therapist service (Journal of EMDR Practice and Research)

This service evaluation investigated the feasibility of group EMDR-based intervention G-TEP for clients with varied trauma histories (not from a shared traumatic event), reporting good clinical outcomes.

The use of a pressure vest to reduce anxiety and dissociation during eye movement desensitization and reprocessing – a single-case experimental design study (Journal of EMDR Practice and Research)

This study investigated the hypothesis that the use of a pressure vest would decrease anxiety and dissociation during EMDR.

Examining therapists’ experiences of self-efficacy while delivering intensive eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (Journal of EMDR Practice and Research)

This study examined intensive EMDR therapists’ experiences of self-efficacy, clinical skills, professional attunement, and exposure to vicarious and secondary trauma.

“The Most Loving Decision a Mother Can Make”: Using EMDR to reduce internalized abortion stigma within TFMR parents (Studies in Clinical Social Work: Transforming Practice, Education and Research)

This case study demonstrates how phase five of EMDR therapy can be utilized to restructure a TFMR parent’s negative self-beliefs rooted in internalized abortion stigma, to decrease shame.

The effect of EMDR on kinesiophobia and daily living in elderly patients with musculoskeletal pain: A clinical trial study (Journal of EMDR Practice and Research)

This study evaluated EMDR therapy for reducing kinesiophobia and improving daily activities in elderly pain patients.

Treating trauma memories reduces the distress of related memories (Journal of EMDR Practice and Research)

This study’s findings suggest that treating trauma memories can reduce the distress level of related memories, with a greater effect when treating earlier memories.

The EMDR toolbox method: Expanding Jim Knipe’s work and enhancing the adaptive information processing model (Journal of EMDR Practice and Research)

This paper aims to introduce the EMDR toolbox method (ETM), which systematizes, extends, and further develops Knipe’s EMDR Toolbox into a comprehensive clinical framework.

Bilateral rhythmic stimulation as a possible modulator of meningeal lymphatic flow: A regulatory T cell-centered neuroimmune hypothesis of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience)

This study proposes that bilateral rhythmic stimulation in EMDR may influence long-term brain and behavior changes by altering autonomic balance and neuroimmune interactions—particularly involving regulatory T cells—offering a testable framework for future research.
