Tapping away anxiety: simple technique may help High-Risk Moms-to-Be

This study looked at whether Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), a therapy that involves tapping on specific body points, could lower anxiety before a planned C-section and reduce depression after birth in high-risk pregnant women. 62 women participated, with half receiving EFT and half receiving standard care. The researchers measured anxiety and depression levels using standard questionnaires before and after the intervention and again 21 days after giving birth.
