This study evaluates the effectiveness of the TR-V-OCD EMDR Protocol, a targeted treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). OCD significantly impairs quality of life. OCD-specific protocols may improve outcomes by addressing maladaptive learning and focusing on symptom stabilization.
This single-blind, quasi-experimental study compared the TR-V-OCD Protocol to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and pharmacological treatment. 24 DSM-5-diagnosed OCD participants were assigned to three groups: TR-V-OCD (n=8), CBT (n=8), and pharmacological treatment (n=8). Interventions were delivered weekly over 10 sessions. Symptom changes were assessed using the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).
Mixed ANOVA analyses revealed significantly greater symptom reductions in the TR-V-OCD and CBT groups compared to the pharmacological group (p < 0.05). Interaction effects between measurements and methods were significant for both BDI (F(2, 20) = 8.25, p = .002, η² = .452) and Y-BOCS (F(2, 20) = 42.62, p < .001, η² = .810). Bonferroni post-hoc tests indicated smaller reductions in the pharmacological group compared to CBT and TR-V-OCD, with no significant difference between CBT and TR-V-OCD.
A larger randomized trial with 240 participants, launched in January 2025, will assess long-term outcomes at 1, 3, and 6 months.
Learning Objectives
1. Understand OCD-specific protocols.
2. Recognize the importance of symptom stabilization.
3. Learn how emotional regulation aids trauma readiness.
