A study compared Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) in treating Hwabyung, a condition caused by suppressed anger, and found both methods improved symptoms, anxiety, and depression. EFT showed greater improvement in trait anger and depression compared to PMR, with no adverse events reported in either group.

This study compared two treatments for insomnia in older adults: Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Sleep Hygiene Education (SHE). The study found that EFT was more effective than SHE in helping elderly women with insomnia, and the benefits lasted for several weeks after treatment. EFT is a cost-effective treatment that can be done in a group setting, making it a promising option for helping older adults with insomnia and depression.
