Can a therapy without pills beat antidepressants for PTSD?
NCT ID NCT06955845
First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a type of talk therapy called EMDR works as well as antidepressant pills (SSRIs) for treating PTSD. Sixty adults with PTSD were randomly assigned to six weeks of either EMDR or an SSRI. The main goal was to see how many people's PTSD symptoms went away by the end of treatment. The results will help doctors know if EMDR is a good drug-free option for PTSD.
