Cognitive Behavioral Therapy versus Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in Patients with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials

Abstract: BackgroundPost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is prevalent in children, adolescents and adults. It can occur alone or in comorbidity with other disorders. A broad range of psychotherapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have been developed for the treatment of PTSD.AimThrough quantitative meta-analysis, we aimed to compare the efficacy of CBT and EMDR: (i) relieving the post-traumatic symptoms, and (ii) alleviating anxiety and depression, in… Show more

“…9 Khan et al based on their systematic review reported that EMDR is better than cognitive behavioral therapy in patients with post-traumatic stress disorder. 10 Lu et al reported the use of alternating bilateral stimulation of eyes (a component of EMDR therapy) in fearful dental phobic patients who had a history of traumatic dental experience and reported that alternating bilateral stimulation (ABS) is effective in mild to moderate phobic patients. Alternating bilateral stimulation is simple and easy for patients and clinicians to perform during treatment and can be performed readily in the dental office.…”

“…Nach den hier diskutierten Erkenntnissen -Extinktion mit EMDR wirkt rascher und stärker als Extinktion allein durch Re-Exposition -wundert es nicht, dass die EMDR in neueren und neuesten Reviews und Metaanalysen zur klinischen Wirksamkeit -nicht zuletzt im Vergleich zur kognitiven Verhaltenstherapie (cognitive behavioral therapy, CBT) -als wirksamer eingestuft wird [11,19]. Auch erscheint die Rate der Therapie-Abbrecher geringer, was ebenfalls durch den rascheren Wirkungseintritt und die stärkere Wirkung erklärt werden kann [40].…”
