What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study is a non-clinical substudy conducted within the DESTRESS research program (NCT05036538), which investigates the effects of relaxation interventions on physiological and psychological parameters.

Participants are randomly assigned to one of several experimental conditions and take part in a single approximately 30-minute session. Depending on group allocation, the session may include exposure to natural soundscapes, natural soundscapes combined with binaural beats, virtual reality-based natural environments, virtual reality combined with binaural beats, or a control condition without a relaxation intervention.
