简要总结
The study's aim is to determine whether a short video aiming to optimize expectations regarding the effectiveness of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) ist able to improve the actual effectiveness of PMR in comparison with a neutral (no video) control group.

研究组 & 干预措施
Experimental group 1 (personal expert)
Participants watch a video of an expert describing the positive effects of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) with personalized examples and stories before undergoing a PMR session.
干预措施: Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) (Behavioral)
Experimental group 2 (factual expert)
Participants watch a video of an expert describing the positive effects of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) with factual information (not personal) before undergoing a PMR session.
干预措施: Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) (Behavioral)
Control group
Participants read a neutral text before undergoing a Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) session.
干预措施: Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in perceived/subjective relaxation
时间窗: Change from pre (baseline) to post scores (30 minutes later)
Participants are asked to rate how relaxed they feel at the moment at two time points (baseline and after the PMR intervention) on a questionnaire (VAS: item ranges from 0 (not relaxed at all) - 100 (very relaxed). Change scores are calculated (post- minus pre-scores).
次要结局
- Change in physiological relaxation(Change from pre (baseline) to post scores (30 minutes later))
- Change in perceived stress(Change from pre (baseline) to post scores (30 minutes later))
