Recorded summary
In 89 randomized earthquake survivors, remote EMDR and CBT reduced PTSD, depression and anxiety scores relative to waitlist across 12 sessions.
Recorded limitations
Outcomes were self-reported. Therapists and participants knew allocation; assessor/analyst masking does not blind the people reporting symptoms. Direct superiority comparisons were not the trial’s primary power target.
Evidence and provenance
Chapter Trust Factor uses a minimum of three distinct qualifying studies. Publication records retain their own evidence and assessment.
