Pain scale after treatment was significantly lower in the EFT/tapping group (4.27) than in the control group (5.00), with p=0.000.
If findings like these hold up in larger trials, the promise is simple: a low-cost, self-administered tool that could reach people struggling with other physical conditions who can't easily access traditional care โ at home, between appointments, or where there aren't enough clinicians to go around.
The natural next step: a larger sample to confirm the effect.
