EFT Research Database › Preliminary Evidence

Case Series of Panic Disorder Patients Treated with Oriental Medical Treatments and EFT

Summary: This study examined the effects of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) on patients with panic disorder. Three patients received a combination of traditional oriental medical treatments, including acupuncture and herbal medication, along with EFT. After treatment, the patients showed a decrease in both physical and psychological symptoms of panic disorder. The study suggests that EFT may be an effective treatment for panic disorder.
