Abstract in brief

  • The study is a randomized clinical trial that explored the effectiveness of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) in reducing chronic pain, comparing online self-paced and in-person delivery methods over a 6-month follow-up, with promising results showing significant reductions in pain and improvements in quality of life.
  • Both delivery styles (online and in-person) were equally effective, with no significant differences in pain relief or other outcomes, highlighting EFT's potential as a flexible and accessible treatment for chronic pain sufferers.
  • The research found no significant effects on mental health measures like anxiety or depression, but it supports EFT as a promising treatment for managing chronic pain, especially as an online option for those unable to attend in-person sessions.
