Needle therapy for anxiety? new study tests electroacupuncture

This study looks at whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electric pulses) can reduce anxiety in people with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. About 123 adults will be split into three groups: real electroacupuncture, fake electroacupuncture, or a waiting list. Everyone will keep taking their usual anxiety medication. The researchers will measure anxiety symptoms and use brain scans to see if electroacupuncture changes brain activity.
