Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the interest of the use of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) psychotherapy in the management of psychotic disorders, in particular schizophrenic disorders.

Clinical Trial Description

Since 2015 more and more studies conducted by researchers, especially Dutch and English, are interested in the use of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for other pathologies such as bipolar disorder, unipolar depression, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, substance use disorders and chronic pain.

These studies show that EMDR appears to be a technique that is both effective, capable of significantly improving symptoms, and without risk for patients, while respecting the protocol and the clinical stabilization provided during the procedure.

To date, the use of EMDR for the management of psychotic patients has not been the subject of any prospective study in France and the authors' conclusions converge on the fact that it is essential to carry out more research on the subject.

For this, the investigators wish to evaluate the effect of EMDR on the management of patients with schizophrenic disorders, on the basis that this psychotherapy would improve their quality of life (improvement of all the specific scores used in psychiatry). : PANSS, DES, HAD and WEMWBS scales).

Finally, the investigators believe that it is relevant to assess the benefit of EMDR six months after hospitalization of patients, in order to measure the maintenance of this efficacy in the medium term ;
