Tapping away C-Section fear: new study tests emotional freedom technique

This study looks at whether a simple, side-effect-free technique called Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) — a type of tapping therapy — can lower fear and anxiety in pregnant women before a planned cesarean delivery. Researchers will compare 30 women who receive EFT with 30 who do not, measuring their fear levels, heart rate, blood pressure during surgery, and the baby's health right after birth. The goal is to see if EFT can make the surgical experience calmer and safer for both mother and baby.
