Clinical Trial Summary

1. Reducing symptoms with EFT in young women suffering from dysmenorrhea 2. Improving the quality of life of young women suffering from dysmenorrhea 3. Raising women's awareness for EFT 4. Reducing healthcare costs for dysmenorrhea

Description:

Primary dysmenorrhea, the most common form of dysmenorrhea, is a problem characterized by pain that begins in the lower abdomen before or with menstruation, lower back pain and pain radiating to the legs. The Emotion Freedom Techniqu has become a manualized method that has led to uniform application research, education, and clinical practice. EFT is a brief intervention that combines exposure, cognitive therapy, and somatic stimulation of acupressure points on the face and body. It has been reported in the literature that EFT, a "needle-free and emotional" form of acupuncture, reduces or eliminates dysmenorrhea symptoms and premenstrual complaints.
