Description
Ron Gabriel A. Peji, Diane D. Lipat, and Alyssia M. De Rojas pool trials of EMDR therapy for posttraumatic stress in a 2026 meta-analysis. Searches of four databases covered randomized trials published from 2000 through 2024, with the final search in August 2025. Eleven studies entered the combined analysis under a random-effects model.
EMDR cut symptom severity significantly against control conditions overall in their results. Effects ran larger against passive controls like waitlists and smaller, though comparable, against active rival therapies. Most studies carried some bias concerns on standard checks, which tempers certainty while still supporting EMDR as an effective option.
