Summary

This study looked at whether Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), a simple tapping therapy, could help lower anxiety before a planned C-section and reduce depression after birth in high-risk pregnant women. 62 women took part, with half receiving EFT before surgery and the other half getting standard care. The results showed that EFT helped reduce anxiety right after the session, and the researchers also checked for depression three weeks after birth.
