The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged providers to shift EMDR to telehealth platforms. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> This research had to aims. (1) To compare EMDR in conjunction with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with CBT alone for treatment of a patient population with prevalent anxiety and (2) to compare the efficacy of virtual EMDR with that of in-person EMDR in the primary care setting. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Retrospective chart review of all adult patients seen by a single therapist at a primary care center was conducted from January 2018 to December 2020. Charts were reviewed for demographics, psychiatric diagnoses, number of visits, number and type of EMDR treatments, and patient health questionnaire (PHQ)-9 and general anxiety disorder (GAD-7) scores pre- and post-treatment. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Patients who underwent EMDR with CBT demonstrated greater decreases in PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores than patients who had only CBT (2.4, 2.5 vs. 0.9, 1.1). However, after adjusting for total number of sessions, post-traumatic stress disorder, grief, and pain, the adjusted mean differences of change in PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores between those who underwent EMDR with CBT and CBT-exclusive patients were not statistically significant. Similarly, the adjusted mean differences of change in PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores between those who underwent virtual EMDR and those who had in-person EMDR were not statistically significant. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> To our knowledge, this is the first study describing the use of virtual EMDR in a primary care setting. Although our data did not provide evidence for the superiority of EMDR with CBT over CBT alone, we demonstrate that both in-person and virtual EMDR led to significantly improved GAD-7 scores.</p>","PeriodicalId":520784,"journal":{"name":"Telemedicine journal and e-health : the official journal of the American Telemedicine Association","volume":" ","pages":"1359-1366"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39899222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
