ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Biofeedback With Heart Sound Following Trauma," is looking at how young people who survived an earthquake cope with stress over time. The study will explore a special type of therapy that uses sound to help measure and improve how their bodies respond to stress. By focusing on the heart and nervous system, researchers hope to better understand how to support these young survivors in managing trauma-related stress.

To be eligible for this study, participants must be university students aged 20 to 25 who experienced the earthquake. The trial is open to both men and women, but they need to be in good health without any serious medical issues, such as infections or heart problems. They should also be non-smokers and not dealing with addiction or any ongoing medical treatments. If you participate, you can expect to engage in some sessions involving sound therapy, which will help researchers learn more about your body’s response to stress after the earthquake.
