Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of three methods of EMDR, CBT and EFT in reducing the anxiety of patients in Neurology and Neurology Hospital in Kerman. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted with experimental groups, control group and pre-test, post-test and follow-up design for two months. For this purpose, 60 patients of Neurology and Neurology Hospital in Kerman were selected by purposeful sampling. They were divided into four groups: They were randomized (three experimental groups and one control group, each of which was 15). These individuals were treated individually in EMDR sessions in 6 sessions of forty-five minutes, and the CBT and EFT groups were grouped in 6 sessions per hour. All subjects were evaluated in the pre-test, post-test and follow-up stages by the Spielberger anxiety inventory. Data were analyzed using mixed variance analysis with repeated measures.
