Summary

This study tested Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), a simple tapping method, to help women with endometriosis manage pelvic pain. 64 women aged 18-49 with moderate to severe pain took part. Researchers measured pain levels and quality of life to see if EFT offers a low-cost, easy-to-use option for symptom relief.
