Summary

This study tests whether an open-label placebo nasal spray (a spray with no active ingredients, clearly labeled as a placebo) can help reduce stress in people doing a high-stress canyon swing. About 260 adults will either use the spray before jumping or receive no treatment. Researchers will measure stress levels, enjoyment, and whether participants choose to jump again.
