New tapping therapy shows promise for trauma relief
NCT ID NCT07360990
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested a new therapy called Psychological Cognitive Reprocessing Procedure (P-CRP) in 43 adults with trauma and grief. Unlike standard treatments, P-CRP starts by silently repeating a word tied to a negative belief while tapping the shoulders, letting the mind process memories on its own. The study compared P-CRP to an active control and a waitlist, measuring changes in trauma symptoms and anxiety.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Psychological Cognitive Reprocessing Procedure (P-CRP) - a behavioral therapy using silent repetition of a negative belief word with bilateral tapping
What this could lead to
If this therapy works, it could offer a new way to reduce trauma and grief symptoms without directly confronting traumatic memories.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (43 people) with no phase, so results may not apply broadly. The therapy is new and unproven, and the study is completed but not yet published in a peer-reviewed journal.
