Summary

This trial tests whether laughter yoga, which combines laughter exercises with breathing techniques, can reduce stress, improve psychosocial health, and lessen brain fog in pregnant women during their third trimester. Researchers will measure these effects using standard questionnaires. The study includes 82 pregnant women who will attend several laughter yoga sessions.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
laughter yoga sessions combining laughter exercises with yogic breathing
What this could lead to
If it works, laughter yoga could offer a simple, drug-free way for pregnant women to lower stress, improve emotional well-being, and sharpen mental clarity.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, so results may not apply to all pregnant women. Laughter yoga is generally safe, but it may not be suitable for everyone, and the benefits remain unproven.
