Do Noncoding RNAs Mediate the Efficacy of Energy Psychology?
This experimental study provides preliminary evidence that Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) may influence microRNA expression, potentially linking psychological interventions to molecular-level changes. Although statistical significance was not achieved after adjusting for multiple comparisons, the downregulation of let-7b and let-7c microRNAs—which have been associated with neuroplasticity and emotional regulation—suggests a possible biological mechanism underlying EFT's effects. These findings support further investigation into the role of noncoding RNAs in mediating therapeutic outcomes, particularly in the treatment of PTSD and other stress-related conditions.
