Because eye movements and other bilateral stimulation techniques do not uniquely contribute to EMDR treatment efficacy, EMDR has been characterized as a [[purple hat therapy]], i.e., its effectiveness is due to the same therapeutic methods found in other evidence-based psychotherapies for PTSD, namely exposure therapy and CBT techniques, without any contribution from its distinctive add-ons.

Furthermore, studies with low risk of bias did not point at a significant difference between EMDR and other therapies. The difference between studies with low risk of bias and those with at least some risk of bias was significant and we found considerable indications for researcher allegiance. Because studies with low risk of bias found no difference between EMDR and other therapies, we conclude that there is not enough evidence to decide about the comparative effects of EMDR." | quote-page = {{page needed|date=May 2024}} | s2cid = 202289231 | eissn = 1651-2316 | doi-access = free | hdl = 11577/3461344 | hdl-access = free }}</ref> One 2013 meta-analysis with fewer exclusion criteria found a moderate effect.<ref name=pmid23266601>{{cite journal | vauthors = Lee CW, Cuijpers P | title = A meta-analysis of the contribution of eye movements in processing emotional memories | journal = Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry | volume = 44 | issue = 2 | pages = 231–239 | date = June 2013 | pmid = 23266601 | doi = 10.1016/j.jbtep.2012.11.001 | url = http://researchrepository.murdoch.edu.au/id/eprint/13100/ }}</ref>
