A Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Study in Bipolar Traumatized Patients

Based on the public registry summary, this study is trying to understand: The purpose of this pilot study is whether Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), an approved psychotherapy in posttraumatic stress disorder, improves mood, functioning, quality of life, cognition and BDNF levels in subsyndromal bipolar patients with trauma. The study team can confirm the exact objective and what it means for you.

The study type is not clearly categorized in the public registry. Focus on the objective, required tasks, visits, any intervention, and eligibility criteria, then ask the study team to confirm.

This study may concern people with bipolarity; age range: From 18 Years to 65 Years. The criteria appear fairly specific, but you should not assume you are eligible. The study team must confirm diagnosis, age, exclusions, available locations, and next steps.

The public registry does not clearly describe all participation steps. The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask whether some steps can be done remotely.

The public registry does not make the main risk category clear. Ask the study team what activities are required, what could feel uncomfortable, how safety is monitored, and what happens if you want to stop. For any mental health study, also ask who to contact if you feel worse, whether participation may affect current treatment, whether you can stop, and who confirms eligibility.

The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask which sites are open, how many visits are expected, whether any steps can be done remotely, and whether travel costs or compensation are listed.

This study is sponsored by FIDMAG Germanes Hospitalàries, which appears to be unknown or unclear. If available, it can be useful to check the sponsor website, collaborators, investigator affiliation, and the official registry before deciding. HopeStage does not judge the quality of a sponsor or researcher, but helps you identify what to verify.

The registry indicates that this study is completed. It may still be useful for understanding the research, but you are unlikely to be able to join. The registry lists an estimated enrollment of 20 participants.
