Recorded summary

In 24 people receiving EMDR or trauma-focused CBT for treatment-resistant depression, 148 microRNAs passed quality control. The combined sample’s miR-132-3p change survived correction for multiple testing.

Recorded limitations

EMDR-only subgroup changes did not survive multiple-testing correction. The result does not establish an EMDR-specific microRNA effect.

Evidence and provenance

Chapter Trust Factor uses a minimum of three distinct qualifying studies. Publication records retain their own evidence and assessment.
