Summary

"This trial aims to see if certain breathing exercises can help reduce stress in physical therapy students. The researchers believe that doing these exercises daily will lower anxiety levels compared to students who do not participate in the exercises

Who is the study for?
This trial is for physical therapy students who are healthy but experiencing stress or anxiety. There's no detailed exclusion criteria provided, so it seems open to all students in this field who meet the inclusion conditions.
What is being tested?
The study is testing if daily polyvagal breathing exercises can reduce stress and anxiety. Participants will be split into two groups: one practicing these exercises and a control group with no intervention.

Since the intervention involves non-invasive breathing exercises, significant side effects are not anticipated. However, some individuals might experience discomfort or increased focus on their breath.
