Detailed 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.
