New research involving Oxford researchers has shown that a simple digital intervention that includes gameplay can dramatically reduce intrusive memories of trauma in a month, even to the point of being symptom-free after six months. This treatment was also very effective at reducing the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) more generally. The findings have been
how would it possibly be bad in factors other than efficacy, like BetterHelp was due to data nightmares and advertising a different mechanism? this isn’t even online
99 is a more than enough sample size as this RCT’s Bayes factor is 114 and 15.8 for better efficacy than -control and -regular treatment respectively, which corresponds to “extreme” and “strong evidence” (Lee and Wagenmakers 2013, p. 105; adjusted from Jeffreys, 1961). The Lancet also peer-reviewed the claim “The Bayesian adaptive trial design enabled efficient evaluation with early stopping when convincing evidence was reached (n=99).[2]”
indeed further testing is needed to establish subgroup effects and improve generalizability but this is already quite promising
sorry i was unclear; when I said “how would it possibly be bad in factors other than efficacy, like BetterHelp was due to data nightmares and advertising a different mechanism” i meant that BetterHelp had many reasons it was bad other than efficacy like data nightmares and advertising a different mechanism, and asked how the tetris treatment would replicate BetterHelp’s notorious woes
I’ll copy my reply from below as well:

Fuck off, dude, you expect me to treat you seriously when you defend a company that commodified mental illness?
i have never supported BetterHelp
You said the only bad thing about it was low efficacy. Fuck you.
