Summary

This study tested whether sophrology and neurolinguistic programming (NLP) could help hospital workers feel less stressed and improve their well-being. It included 103 staff members who reported high stress levels. The intervention involved breathing exercises, visualization, and relaxation sessions. However, the trial was terminated early, so the full results are not available.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
sophrology and neurolinguistic programming (NLP) sessions
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a simple, non-drug way to reduce stress and improve well-being for hospital staff.
What could go wrong
The trial was terminated early, so results are limited. It was a small, single-site study, and the benefits may not apply to all workers.
