flag A Tetris-like game played after recalling trauma cuts flashbacks by 90%, offering a simple, scalable PTSD tool.

flag A clinical trial found that playing a slow version of Tetris after recalling a traumatic memory can reduce distressing flashbacks, a method called imagery competing task intervention (ICTI). flag In the study, 40 participants who used ICTI reported 10 times fewer flashbacks within four weeks compared to controls, and after six months, 70% reported no intrusive memories. flag The treatment, which occupies the brain’s visuospatial system, does not require verbalizing trauma, making it accessible across languages and settings. flag Researchers highlight its simplicity, scalability, and potential for use by healthcare workers and others exposed to repeated trauma. flag The findings, published in The Lancet Psychiatry and funded by Wellcome, suggest ICTI could be a low-barrier digital tool to complement existing PTSD treatments.
