Abstract

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), while recognized as evidence-based, continues to be viewed as a novel and controversial treatment. At the same time, numerous alternative eye movement therapies have been introduced, each of which requires its own set of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to assess remarkable claims of cure. The present situation is untenable in our opinion because any clever entrepreneur can claim a new method and trademark a new acronym. Recommendations are made for more stringent criteria to establish science-based methods that guide clinical practice.

评论:EMDR、随机对照试验和商标缩略语的泛滥
眼动脱敏和再处理(EMDR)虽然被认为是一种基于证据的治疗方法,但仍被视为一种新颖而有争议的治疗方法。与此同时,已经引入了许多替代眼动疗法,每种疗法都需要自己的一套随机对照试验(rct)来评估显著的治愈效果。在我们看来,目前的情况是站不住脚的,因为任何聪明的企业家都可以申请一种新方法,并注册一个新的缩写词。建议制定更严格的标准,以建立指导临床实践的基于科学的方法。
