Summary

This trial tests whether a structured group therapy, blending EMDR and sensorimotor techniques, can help adults with trauma-related symptoms in a primary care setting. Participants are randomly assigned to either this group intervention or usual care. The study measures changes in PTSD symptoms, emotional regulation, and quality of life, and also looks at how acceptable and feasible the program is in real-world clinics.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Trauma-focused group intervention combining EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy principles
What this could lead to: If effective, this could expand access to trauma-focused care within public primary care, offering a practical treatment option for adults with trauma-related symptoms.
What could go wrong: This is a pragmatic trial with a moderate sample size; results may not generalize widely, and the group format may not suit everyone. As with any psychological intervention, some participants might find processing trauma distressing.
