Breathe easy: study tests if slow breathing beats stress

NCT ID NCT07529379

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether breathing slowly (6 breaths per minute) lowers stress more than breathing at a normal pace or just resting. Healthy adults will practice a breathing method, then take a stress test involving cold water and math. Researchers will measure heart rate, stress hormones, and mood to see if the specific rhythm matters.
