“…In addition to these studies, two reviews were identified on addiction (Pilz et al, 2017;Markus and Hornsveld, 2019). Both found that EMDR has a high therapeutic potential in the field of addictions, although the conditions by which EMDR operates in addiction remains unclear.…”

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The technique is known to facilitate reprocessing of maladaptive memories that are thought to be central to this pathology. Here we investigate if EMDR therapy can be used in other conditions. We conducted a systematic literature search on PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science. We searched for published empirical findings on EMDR, excluding those centred on trauma and PTSD, published up to 2020. The results were classified by psychiatric categories. Ninety articles met our research criteria. A positive effect was reported in numerous pathological situations, namely in addictions, somatoform disorders, sexual dysfunction, eating disorders, disorders of adult personality, mood disorders, reaction to severe stress, anxiety disorders, performance anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), pain, neurodegenerative disorders, mental disorders of childhood and adolescence, and sleep. Some studies reported that EMDR was successful in usually uncooperative (e.g., Dementia) or unproductive cases (e.g., aphasia). Moreover, in some severe medical conditions, when psychological distress was an obstacle, EMDR allowed the continuation of treatment-as-usual. Furthermore, the effects observed in non-pathological situations invite for translational research. Despite a generally positive outlook of EMDR as an alternative treatment option, more methodologically rigorous studies are needed. We discuss the advantages and limitations and possible implications for the hypothesised mechanisms of action.

“…It has been recognized by the World Health Organization as a rst-line therapeutic tool for PTSD (9) due to its e cacy in reducing clinical symptoms, evidenced in several meta-analyses in both adults (10)(11)(12)(13)(14) and children and adolescents (15,16). Additionally, EMDR has shown its clinical applicability in the treatment of other pathologies, such as addictions (17), depression (18), anxiety (19), and CP (20). In this last case, to date seven randomized controlled trials (RCT) have investigated the e cacy of EMDR in different conditions of CP: chronic pain (21,22), migraine headaches (23), chronic back pain (24), pain due to rheumatoid arthritis (25), acute pain after abdominal surgery (26), and pain due to FM or diffuse chronic pain (27).…”

Background: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a generalized, widespread chronic pain disorder affecting 2.7% of the general population. In recent years, different studies have observed a strong association between FM and psychological trauma. Therefore, a trauma-focused psychotherapy, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), combined with a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, such as Multifocal transcranial Current Stimulation (MtCS), could be an innovative adjunctive treatment option. This double blind Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) analyzes if EMDR therapy is effective in the reduction of pain symptoms in FM patients, and if its potential is boosted with the addition of MtCS. Methods:96 patients with FM and a history of traumatic events will be randomly allocated to Waiting List, EMDR + active-MtCS or EMDR + sham-MtCS. Therapists and patients will be kept blind to MtCS conditions, and raters will be kept blind to both EMDR and MtCS. All patients will be evaluated at baseline, post-treatment, and follow-up at 6 months after post-treatment. Evaluations will assess the following variables: sociodemographic data, pain, psychological trauma, sleep disturbance, anxiety and affective symptoms, wellbeing, self-care, emotional regulation, self-esteem, and cognitive functioning. Discussion: This study will provide evidence of whether EMDR therapy is effective in reducing pain symptoms in FM patients, and whether the effect of EMDR can be enhanced by MtCS. Trial registration number: This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov on 2 August 2019, identifier: NCT04084795 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04084795?term=EMDR&cond=Fibromyalgia&draw=2&rank=1).
