Clinical Trial Summary

This study investigates the effectiveness of EMDR for survivors of childhood sexual abuse. All participants will undertake a standard course of EMDR via the National Heath Service program, alongside a number of questionnaires and a follow-up interview.


Clinical Trial Description

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) via investigation of the changes in the individual trauma stress response on sexually abused adolescents and young adults, aged between 18 and 25 during EMDR treatment. The findings of this mixed methods study will explore (a) neuropsychological, emotional (namely low self-esteem, anxiety and depression), behavioural functioning and quality of life issues via quantitative measures conducted before, during and after treatment and (b) client perspectives of such changes through qualitative interviewing (interview guide is in Appendix 7) at one month follow-up using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis [IPA]. The study setting will be conducted within the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) program framework, established to ensure service users accessing NHS treatment are presented with choice in their treatment. Therapy will routinely be delivered within GP Surgeries or Health Centres. Within this two-fold study, the following key research questions will be considered in relation to the effectiveness of EMDR: 1. Qualitative data will sought to identify; In what ways was EMDR helpful? In what ways was EMDR perceived as being unhelpful? 2. Quantitative data will sought to identify; Are there changes in emotional and behavioural functioning (in relation to trauma, anxiety and depressive symptoms)? Are there changes in neuropsychological functioning (memory, attention, executive functioning)? Are there changes in quality of life issues? Are there changes in self-worth? ;
