简要总结
This randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigated the effects of sound-based meditation using Solfeggio frequencies (528 Hz), singing bowls, gongs, and bells on stress, anxiety, tension, blood pressure, and cortisol levels. The trial involved 100 participants (50 in the control group and 50 in the experimental group) over four weeks at the UNS Research Council in Tamil Nadu, India.
Expected Key Findings:
- Experimental Group:
- Showed significant reductions in anxiety, depression, tension, and cortisol levels (p < 0.001).
- Participants experienced improvements in mood, spiritual well-being, and blood pressure.
- Control Group (Placebo Meditation):
- No significant changes (p > 0.05) in stress, anxiety, or physiological parameters were demonstrated.
Expected Outcome Measures:
- Primary Outcome: Reduction in stress, anxiety, and depression (measured via HADS and POMS-SF).
- Secondary Outcomes:
- Lowered cortisol levels.
- Blood pressure significantly decreased.
- Enhanced spiritual and emotional well-being.
Methodology:
- Participants attended daily 60-minute meditation sessions. The experimental group also engaged in self-meditation at home with recorded sound frequencies.
- Assessments included blood pressure measurements, cortisol level tests, and self-reported psychological scales (HADS, POMS-SF).
