  • 67% experienced improved general well-being or a secondary health issue.
  • UCST showed particular effectiveness for headaches, migraine, neck/back pain, anxiety, depression, and unsettled infants.
  • 70% of patients decreased or discontinued medication; GP consultation rates dropped by 60% post-treatment.

    • Conclusions:

    • UCST demonstrates potential benefits for a range of conditions including pain, anxiety, and infant issues.
    • Further research into UCST is warranted, particularly for specific conditions identified in the study.
