Nature's prescription: park time may ease stress for wheelchair users
NCT ID NCT05975476
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test whether spending time in a park—either by moving along a trail or by relaxing and engaging the senses—can improve emotional well-being and reduce stress in adults who use manual wheelchairs. Ten participants will try both activities over 10 weeks. Researchers will measure stress through hair and saliva samples and track mood with surveys.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward simple, nature-based ways to improve emotional well-being and reduce stress for people with mobility impairments.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The outcomes rely on stress markers like hair and saliva samples, which may not show clear changes.
