Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is an effective treatment for PTSD for victims of natural disasters, car accidents or other traumatic events. The current study examined the effect of EMDR on symptoms of PTSD and depression by comparing the treatment with a wait-list control condition in Syrian refugees.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S0033291716001070_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\">\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Adult refugees located in Kilis Refugee Camp at the Turkish\u2013Syrian border with a PTSD diagnosis were randomly allocated to either EMDR (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 37) or wait-list control (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 33) conditions. All participants were assessed with the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview Plus at pre-intervention, at 1 week after finishing the intervention and at 5 weeks after finishing the intervention. The main outcome measures were the Harvard Trauma Questionnaire (HTQ) and the Impact of Event Scale-Revised. The Beck Depression Inventory and the Hopkins Symptoms Checklist-25 were included as secondary outcome measures.

Similar findings were found on the other outcome measures. There was no effect of time or group \u00d7 time interaction on any measure, showing that the difference between the groups at the post-treatment was maintained to the 5-week follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S0033291716001070_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"conclusion\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>EMDR may be effective in reducing PTSD and depression symptoms among Syrian refugees with PTSD located in a refugee camp.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0033291716001070","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,29]],"date-time":"2016-06-29T02:50:26Z","timestamp":1467168626000},"page":"2583-2593","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":120,"title":["The efficacy of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing for post-traumatic stress disorder and depression among Syrian refugees: results of a randomized controlled trial"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"C.","family":"Acarturk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"E.","family":"Konuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Cetinkaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"I.","family":"Senay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Sijbrandij","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B.","family":"Gulen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Cuijpers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0033291716001070_ref48","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"724","DOI":"10.5127\/jep.028212","article-title":"How does EMDR work?","volume":"3","author":"Van der Hout","year":"2012","journal-title":"Journal of Experimental Psychopathology"},{"key":"S0033291716001070_ref38","first-page":"193","volume-title":"Implementing EMDR Early Mental Health Interventions for Man-Made and Natural Disasters: Models, Scripted Protocols, and Summary Sheets","author":"Shapiro","year":"2013"},{"key":"S0033291716001070_ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005053-199202000-00008"},{"key":"S0033291716001070_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.ajp.162.2.214"},{"key":"S0033291716001070_ref28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-006X.76.4.686"},{"key":"S0033291716001070_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.brat.2010.01.003"},{"key":"S0033291716001070_ref37","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1891\/1933-3196.2.2.79"},{"key":"S0033291716001070_ref17","first-page":"4","article-title":"Posttraumatic stress disorder: the burden to the individual and to the society","volume":"5","author":"Kessler","year":"2000","journal-title":"Journal of Clinical Psychiatry"},{"key":"S0033291716001070_ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/acps.12275"},{"key":"S0033291716001070_ref26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1939-0025.2010.01062.x"},{"key":"S0033291716001070_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3402\/ejpt.v6.27414"},{"key":"S0033291716001070_ref44","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3402\/ejpt.v2i0.5881"},{"key":"S0033291716001070_ref43","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jclp.1129"},{"key":"S0033291716001070_ref35","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0033291706007963"},{"key":"S0033291716001070_ref52","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/sim.1572"},{"key":"S0033291716001070_ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.286.5.546"},{"key":"S0033291716001070_ref50","first-page":"399","volume-title":"Assessing Psychological Trauma and PTSD: A Practitioner's Handbook","author":"Weiss","year":"1997"},{"key":"S0033291716001070_ref32","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0033291711000201"},{"key":"S0033291716001070_ref33","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.294.5.602"},{"key":"S0033291716001070_ref8","unstructured":"Engeler A (2004).
