Remote EMDR vs CBT for PTSD After Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes: Randomized Trial Data

Metin Çınaroğlu's randomized trial data compares remotely delivered Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for treating PTSD in survivors of the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes. The dataset includes results from 89 participants assessed at baseline, mid-treatment, and post-treatment, measuring PTSD severity, depression, anxiety, and emotion regulation. The data was uploaded to figshare in May 2026 under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Compare treatment efficacy for PTSD based on primary outcome measures of PTSD severity.
• Analyze differential symptom improvement patterns based on secondary outcomes of depression and anxiety.
• Study the feasibility of remote therapy delivery in post-disaster settings based on the trial's remote delivery method.
• Evaluate changes in emotion regulation skills based on the emotion regulation secondary outcome.

Strengths

• Data originates from a randomized, controlled, parallel-group trial with a ClinicalTrials.gov identifier (NCT06758362).
• Includes results from 89 participants with intention-to-treat analysis using mixed-effects models.
• Provides Cohen's d effect size estimates for primary and secondary outcomes, such as d ≈ 1.9 for PTSD.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (16.1 KB), indicating limited scope.
