Plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor level may contribute to the therapeutic response to eye movement desensitization and reprocessing in complex post-traumatic stress disorder: A pilot study
Article Abstract
Debate paper. Letter to the editor.
“We investigated the relationship between plasma levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) and responses to eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) in complex post-traumatic stress disorder (complex PTSD). Before and after EMDR, plasma levels of neurotrophic factors and scores in the indices of self-questionnaires were obtained for eight men with complex PTSD. Baseline plasma levels of BDNF and NGF of responder and of non-responders were compared.”
