Clinical Trial Summary

The study aims to assess the feasibility of an online intervention platform based on the Immediate Stabilization Procedure (ISP®). This intervention targets early trauma reactions, aiming to reduce the risk of future PTSD.


Clinical Trial Description

The primary objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness and feasibility of an immediate stabilization procedure adapted for online self-usage. This procedure relies on the Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) treatment, a well-known approach for post-traumatic responses. It involves bilateral stimulation of the brain's hemispheres through tapping on the body (i.e., the 'Butterfly Hug') and positive therapist statements during the tapping process. Key advantages of this protocol include: 1) prevents long-term post-traumatic symptoms; 2) short intervention - takes 5-20 minutes on average; 3) simple procedure that does not require recalling traumatic memories; 4) could be administered by non-mental health experts. The ISP® protocol was found effective and safe in Israel (face-to-face) and the Ukraine (remote). In addition, online variations of the protocol for self-usage have been utilized globally. The on-going state of war emphasizes the critical need for immediate emotional support. A collaborative group involving researchers, mental health clinicians, and software engineers adapted the ISP® protocol for online self-usage. The current study aims to evaluate the efficiency of this intervention. ;
