Overview
Brief Summary
Clinically mud application in various forms is found benefited to relieve stress and reduce blood pressure in hypertensive individuals but there are no studies documented so far on the significant impact of cold mud application on abdomen and eyes. Hence this study is designed to hypothesize that there would be a significant difference in the acute stress response of the test group when the subjects have undergone cold pressor test which indicates that there was a decreased sympathetic arousal which represents cold mud pack may act on catecholaminergic activity in prefrontal cortex.
6.3.1 Objectives of the study
1. To quantify the change in acute stress response for cold pressor test after CMPEA.
2. To assess the effect of CMPEA on sleep quality and resilience among medical students.
Grouping :
Sixty Healthy individuals will be assessed at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention by dividing into 2 groups with an equal number.
Test group: n = 30
Control group: n = 30
