A clinical study on EMDR pain control technique using
bilateral alternative tapping stimulation
Tamaki Amano*1, Masaya Ichii*2, Motomi Toichi*3
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is generally known as a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but it is also known as a pain control technique in the West. The severity of the pain does not always correspond to the degree of damage in the pain receptor, and it is also influenced by psychological conditions, such as emotion, attention and intention of the individual. The study of neuropsychological pain control has been progressing. If EMDR is regarded as a neuropsychological therapeutic option, it could have an effect on pain control regardless of the cause of the pain. EMDR was applied to the patients with diabetic gangrene pain, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer pain. Continued bilateral tapping stimulation was applied while the patients were instructed to hold some positive memory or any images that could bring them sense of safety and comfort. As a result, all the patients showed significant decrease in pain level and negative emotions related to the pain, and they also showed significant increase in their ability to control the pain.The result suggests that EMDR is effective in controlling pain of different causes because of its effect on psychological conditions, which are common in all types of pain.

Experimental studies on effects of eye movements on memory retrieval
Hisafumi Yoshikawa*1, Masaya Ichii*2
The effects of eye movements have been demonstrated in the growing body of studies. This article reviews the experimental studies based on the theoretical models that explain the effects of eye movements. Working memory model shows that eye movements reduce the vividness and emotional impact of images as the result of disruption in the function of working memory, due to perception tasks including eye movements are performed while the memories are held in mind. Interhemispheric interaction model demonstrates that horizontal eye movements facilitate retrieving memories more accurately by increased interhemispheric brain activity. Investigatory reflex model shows that eye movements reduce physiological arousal with deep relaxation induced by eye movements, though it is still controversial. The limitation of each models and the relation among these three models were discussed, including the variable of ‘distancing’, in terms of how eye movements affect unpleasant memories.
