Using clinical data from a specialized trauma clinic, this study investigated pretreatment clinical factors predicting response to eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) among adult patients diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Participants were evaluated using the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS), the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised, the Beck Depression Inventory, and the Dissociative Experiences Scale before treatment and were reassessed using the CAPS after treatment and at 6-month follow-up. A total of 69 patients underwent an average of 4 sessions of EMDR, and 60 (87%) completed the posttreatment evaluation, including 8 participants who terminated treatment prematurely. Intent-to-treat analysis revealed that 39 (65%) of the 60 patients were classified as responders and 21 (35%) as nonresponders when response was defined as more than a 30% decrease in total CAPS score. The nonresponders had higher levels of dissociation (depersonalization and derealization) and numbing symptoms, but other PTSD symptoms, such as avoidance, hyperarousal, and intrusion, were not significantly different. The number of psychiatric comorbidities was also associated with treatment nonresponse. The final logistic regression model yielded 2 significant variables: dissociation (p < .001) and more than 2 comorbidities compared to none (p < .05). These results indicate that complex symptom patterns in PTSD may predict treatment response and support the inclusion of the dissociative subtype of PTSD in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition.
本研究利用一家专业创伤诊所的临床数据,调查了成年创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)患者中预测眼动脱敏再处理疗法(EMDR)治疗反应的治疗前临床因素。治疗前,使用临床医生管理的PTSD量表(CAPS)、症状自评量表90修订版、贝克抑郁量表和分离体验量表对参与者进行评估,并在治疗后及6个月随访时使用CAPS进行重新评估。共有69名患者平均接受了4次EMDR治疗,60名(87%)完成了治疗后评估,其中包括8名提前终止治疗的参与者。意向性分析显示,当将反应定义为CAPS总分降低超过30%时,60名患者中有39名(65%)被归类为反应者,21名(35%)为无反应者。无反应者的分离(人格解体和现实解体)和麻木症状水平较高,但其他PTSD症状,如回避、过度警觉和闯入症状,没有显著差异。精神共病的数量也与治疗无反应相关。最终的逻辑回归模型产生了2个显著变量:分离(p < .001)以及与无共病相比有超过2种共病(p < .05)。这些结果表明,PTSD中的复杂症状模式可能预测治疗反应,并支持将PTSD的分离亚型纳入《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第五版。
