Background: Literature points towards the potential benefits of the application of Eye Movement and Desensitization Processing (EMDR)-therapy for patients in the medical setting, with cancer and pain being among the domains it is applied to. The field of applying EMDR-therapy for patients treated in the medical setting has evolved to such an extent that it may be challenging to get a comprehensive overview. Objective: This systematic literature review aims to evaluate the use and effectiveness of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy in patients treated in the medical setting. Methods: We performed a literature search following the PRISMA guidelines. Studies were included if the effectiveness of EMDR-therapy was assessed in adult patients treated in a medical setting. Excluded were patients exclusively suffering from a mental health disorder, without somatic comorbidity. A risk of bias analysis was performed. This review was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022325238). Results: Eighty-seven studies, of which 26 (pilot)-RCTs were included and categorized in 14 medical domains. Additionally, three studies focusing on persistent physical complaints were included. Most evidence exists for its application in the fields of oncology, pain, and neurology. The overall appraisal of these studies showed at least moderate to high risks of bias. EMDR demonstrated effectiveness in reducing symptoms in 85 out of 87 studies. Notably, the occurrence of adverse events was rarely mentioned. Conclusions: Overall, outcomes seem to show beneficial effects of EMDR on reducing psychological and physical symptoms in patients treated in a medical setting. Due to the heterogeneity of reported outcomes, effect sizes could not be pooled. Due to the high risk of bias of the included studies, our results should be interpreted with caution and further controlled high-quality research is needed.

“…More recently, an RCT comparing EMDR vs. routine care of patients that had undergone amputation of lower limb (Rostaminejad et al, 2017 ), demonstrated that a standard EMDR intervention applied as early as 2 months post-amputation has significant long-lasting effects on phantom limb pain (PLP)of up to 24 months post-treatment. One pilot study (Brennstuhl et al, 2017a ) extended the limb-related finding with patients having undergone mastectomies. Using a mixture of standard and pain protocol, the authors report that between 5 and 10 EMDR sessions were sufficient to significantly decrease the phantom breast sensations and pain of the patients, as well as improve their scores in anxiety and depression questionnaires with results stable of up to 6 months post-treatment.…”

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The technique is known to facilitate reprocessing of maladaptive memories that are thought to be central to this pathology. Here we investigate if EMDR therapy can be used in other conditions. We conducted a systematic literature search on PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science. We searched for published empirical findings on EMDR, excluding those centred on trauma and PTSD, published up to 2020. The results were classified by psychiatric categories. Ninety articles met our research criteria. A positive effect was reported in numerous pathological situations, namely in addictions, somatoform disorders, sexual dysfunction, eating disorders, disorders of adult personality, mood disorders, reaction to severe stress, anxiety disorders, performance anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), pain, neurodegenerative disorders, mental disorders of childhood and adolescence, and sleep. Some studies reported that EMDR was successful in usually uncooperative (e.g., Dementia) or unproductive cases (e.g., aphasia). Moreover, in some severe medical conditions, when psychological distress was an obstacle, EMDR allowed the continuation of treatment-as-usual. Furthermore, the effects observed in non-pathological situations invite for translational research. Despite a generally positive outlook of EMDR as an alternative treatment option, more methodologically rigorous studies are needed. We discuss the advantages and limitations and possible implications for the hypothesised mechanisms of action.

“…The domain of pain includes 16 studies, divided into nine studies focusing on phantom pain and seven studies focusing on chronic pain (Supplementary Table 4A). The efficacy of EMDR on phantom pain was evaluated on pain, including intensity and disability in all nine studies, [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] the use of pain medication, 19,20 intensity of sensation, 22,23 Quality of Life (QoL), 24 fatigue, 24 psychological problems and symptoms of psychopathology, 18,24 emotional distress, 25,26 and symptoms of anxiety, 18,22,23 depression, 18,22,23,26 and PTSD. 19,24,26 All studies reported beneficial effects of EMDR when comparing measurements before and after treatment.…”
