NCT ID NCT07472010
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether doing jaw stretches and a specific breathing pattern (4-4-8) can affect stress levels, muscle tightness, and mood. About 52 healthy university students will be randomly assigned to do these exercises. Researchers will measure heart rate, blood pressure, and jaw muscle activity before and after the exercises to see any changes.
