The impact of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) on the sleep of patients is widely reported. However, the parameters that can be altered are not the same for all patients. Some studies report an impairment of sleep maintenance and recurrent nightmares, while others failed to find such alterations. Among the many treatments, the eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy used specifically to treat PTSD and general trauma. The purpose of this study was to examine whether EMDR treatment can improve PTSD symptoms, such as sleep, depression, anxiety, and poor quality of life.
创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）对患者睡眠的影响已有广泛报道。然而，并非所有患者可改变的参数都是相同的。一些研究报告称存在睡眠维持障碍和反复出现噩梦的情况，而另一些研究则未发现此类改变。在众多治疗方法中，眼动脱敏再处理疗法（EMDR）是一种专门用于治疗PTSD和一般性创伤的疗法。本研究的目的是检验EMDR治疗是否能改善PTSD症状，如睡眠、抑郁、焦虑和生活质量低下等问题。
