#2Not surprising, it's been conjectured for a long time that suppressing the physiological response would improve the effectiveness of PTSD therapy

Isn’t that fairly common for the first round of human testing for novel treatments like this? I could certainly understand wanting some small scale reassurance that a wider study won’t be throwing good money after bad.

#6Not surprised, but the headline is pretty terrible. This is a very small, early stage experiment with promising results. The declarative statement-of-fact in the headline is just irresponsible clickbait. That said, the results are promising.

It is quite normal to start with small groups for economic reasons. If the first results look promising, you can scale up. If they are a wash, you haven't spent too much money on chasing yet another placebo.

Do these work the same as the professional/medical ones? A friend of mine had one during a study, and she claimed it worked by electrostimulation (small electric shocks), not ultrasonic waves?
She wanted to buy one of those devices because they really helped her but the cost was upwards of 1500€, this would probably be within range for her, assuming it works the same way?

They promote their peer-reviewed clinical trial in the header area. However, the spelling mistake 'Tial' should be fixed asap :)
Maybe you can tell him that and also tell him that I am quite interested in the device to check if it can reduce my heart palpitations!

#10Why not use EMDR instead?
