This study found that Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) significantly reduced PTSD symptoms in 58 veterans, with a 52% decline in symptom severity and large treatment effect size (Cohen's d = 3.44). The gains were maintained at six-month follow-up, and EFT also reduced anxiety, depression, insomnia, and pain, indicating its effectiveness as an evidence-based practice for treating PTSD in veterans.

This observational study examined the effects of six sessions of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) on seven veterans with psychological symptoms. The results showed significant reductions in symptom severity (40%), anxiety (46%), depression (49%), and PTSD (50%), with most gains maintained at 90-day follow-up. The study suggests that EFT may be an effective treatment for veterans with psychological trauma, although further research is needed due to the small sample size.
