First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a manual acupressure technique called Energy Resonance by Cutaneous Stimulation (RESC) to see if it could lower anxiety in 57 women about to undergo a breast macrobiopsy. Participants received a RESC session before the procedure, and their anxiety was measured using a standard questionnaire. The goal was to find a simple, non-drug way to help patients feel calmer during a stressful diagnostic procedure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Energy Resonance by Cutaneous Stimulation (manual acupressure technique)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug way to ease anxiety before breast biopsies, making the experience less stressful for patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 57 participants and no blinding, so results may not apply widely. The technique's effect may be due to placebo or patient expectations.
