In South America, they held preliminary clinical trials in11 allied treatment centers. A variety of randomized, double-blind pilot studies were conducted. In one of these, approximately 5,000 patients diagnosed at intake with an anxiety disorder were randomly assigned to an experimental group (tapping) or a control group (talk therapy & medication). Ratings were given by independent clinicians who interviewed each patient at the close of therapy, at 1 month, at 3 months, at 6 months, and at 12 months. The raters made a determination of complete remission of symptoms, partial remission of symptoms, or no clinical response. The raters did not know if the patient received talk therapy & medication or tapping. They knew the initial diagnosis, the symptoms, and the severity, as judged by the intake staff. At the close of therapy: 63% of the control group was judged as having improved; 90% of the experimental group was judged as having improved. 51% of the control group was judged as being symptom free; 76% of the experimental group was judged as symptom free.

"TaPPing" or EFT is a form of acupressure that uses a tapping technique to stimulate and balance the body’s energy meridian points. The tapping on the designated points on the face and body is combined with verbalizing the identified problem followed by a general affirmation phrase. Combining these ingredients of the EFT technique balances the energy system and appears to relieve psychological stress and physical pain. Restoring the balance of the energy system allows the body and mind to resume their natural healing abilities. EFT is easy to apply, and is non-invasive.
