COVID-19 affects many societies by measures as "social distancing", forcing mental health care professionals to deliver treatments online or via telephone. In this context, online Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an emerging treatment for patients with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). We performed a systematic review of studies investigating online EMDR for PTSD. Only one trial was identified. That uncontrolled open trial showed promising results. There is an urgent need to further examine the effects of online EMDR for PTSD, before its wider dissemination is warranted. Remotely delivered cognitive behavioural therapy seems the preferred PTSD-treatment in times of COVID-19.
COVID-19 通过“社交距离”等措施影响着许多社会,迫使精神卫生保健专业人员通过在线或电话提供治疗。在这种情况下,在线眼动脱敏再处理(EMDR)是治疗创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)患者的一种新兴疗法。我们对研究在线 EMDR 治疗 PTSD 的研究进行了系统回顾。只确定了一项试验。该非对照开放试验显示出有希望的结果。在广泛传播之前,迫切需要进一步研究在线 EMDR 治疗 PTSD 的效果。在 COVID-19 期间,远程提供的认知行为疗法似乎是 PTSD 的首选治疗方法。
