Dental Phobia Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Randomized Wait-list Control Study of the Efficacy of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in Patients With Dental Phobia
The purpose of this study is to find out whether Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is effective in the treatment of patients with dental phobia.
Dental phobia represents a clinical condition that affects 5-15% of the community and is
characterized by severe anxiety of dental treatment which leads to avoidance of treatment
and, as a consequence, severe dental as well as psychosocial problems.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) has been developed for the treatment of
patients with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Its efficacy in PTSD patients has often
been demonstrated in randomized controlled trials.
Recently it has been demonstrated that dental phobia is often induced by traumatic events
during dental treatment and goes along with symptoms of PTSD in numerous patients.
A pilot study (de Jongh et al. 2002) gave hints on the efficacy of EMDR in four dental
phobia patients with a history of traumatization during dental treatment.
This randomized wait-list control study aims to evaluate the efficacy of EMDR in a larger
sample of dental phobia patients.
