Remote EMDR versus CBT for PTSD after the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes: a randomized trial
Overview
This randomized trial compares the efficacy of remotely delivered EMDR and CBT for PTSD among 89 adult survivors of the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes in Türkiye. The study reports that both interventions produced large reductions in PTSD symptoms compared to a wait-list control, with comparable overall efficacy but potentially distinct effects on core trauma versus depressive symptoms. The resource is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in evidence-based remote treatments for disaster-related mental health outcomes.
