Summary

This study tests a topical patch called PEACE that uses gentle vibrations to help people feel less stressed or anxious. 150 adults aged 18 to 85 who have stress or anxiety will wear either the active patch or a sham (fake) patch for 14 days. Researchers will measure changes using standard stress and quality-of-life surveys, and track any changes in medication use.
