This study is a partial requirement for a PhD in Clinical Psychology from California Institute of Human Science. This anonymous survey is for people 18-65 who have Fibromyalgia and have had at least 4 EFT sessions with a practitioner or who have taken prescription medicine for it at least four months. This study investigates self-report scores of the efficacy effects of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and medications on the symptoms of adult fibromyalgia (FM). Clearly, the dynamics of FM indicate a unique and complicated condition whose sufferers could benefit from our learning more about treatment from the patient’s perspective. In this case, we are interested in how people experience their Fibromyalgia treatment.

The Fibromyalgia Survey Monkey 14 question survey, is an anonymous, point-in-time survey. It asks the Fibromyalgia sufferer about their thoughts and feelings about symptoms and two types of treatment (EFT and Medications). The anonymous, self report survey will be offered to EFT practitioners and their clients. In addition, it will be offered to the pool of ongoing anonymous participants as part of Survey Monkey’s research linkage platform; and/or offered on various social media websites, specifically FM chat rooms. The goal will be to find at least 60 participants for each type of treatment. The point in time will be after at least 4 months of treatment.

Thank you for your participation. Here is the survey link if you want to send it to anyone (please do):
