Eye movement technique may quiet trauma memories without full recall

This trial tests whether combining eye movements with different ways of reactivating a memory can reduce the frequency and distress of intrusive trauma memories in people with PTSD. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three procedures: unconscious trauma reactivation, active trauma memory recall, or neutral memory recall, each paired with bilateral eye movements. The study tracks intrusive memories and PTSD symptoms over a week to see which approach is most tolerable and effective.
