This study examined the effects of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) on exam anxiety in Turkish nursing students, finding that three group EFT sessions significantly reduced state and trait anxiety levels as measured by the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Results suggest that EFT may be an effective non-pharmacological intervention for managing exam-related stress, though further research is needed to confirm long-term benefits.The study was published in the European Journal of Integrative Medicine: Volume 32, December 2019, 101002

This randomized controlled trial investigated the effectiveness of self-administered Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) in reducing symptoms of fibromyalgia in women. The results showed statistically significant improvements in pain, anxiety, depression, and quality of life in the EFT treatment group compared to the wait-listed group. While the results are promising, the small sample size and high dropout rate mean that further research is needed to confirm the effectiveness of EFT as a treatment for fibromyalgia.
