EFT "Significant Decrease in Anxiety" - Systematic Review

A systematic review of EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques has concluded that the tapping treatment results in a "significant decrease in anxiety".

Published in The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, the paper by Ben Gurion University, Medical School for International Health, Israel includes meta-analysis and is based on 14 studies.

Research Methodology

From the papers abstract:

Randomized controlled trials retrieved by literature search were assessed for quality using the criteria developed by the American Psychological Association's Division 12 Task Force on Empirically Validated Treatments. As of December 2015, 14 studies (n = 658) met inclusion criteria. Results were analyzed using an inverse variance weighted meta-analysis. The pre-post effect size for the EFT treatment group was 1.23 (95% confidence interval, 0.82-1.64; p < 0.001), whereas the effect size for combined controls was 0.41 (95% confidence interval, 0.17-0.67; p = 0.001).
