Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Comparatively studied the effects of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) bilateral brain stimulation in trauma therapy.

A randomized, parallel, before-after, blind study was performed. Thirty nine subjects were randomly distributed to two groups: one session of EMDR psychotherapy standard and other with EMDR standard protocol without its typical brain bilateral stimulation. The results of the Beck scales for anxiety, depression and hopelessness and the impact of events test were compared between groups.
