Jaw Stretching with Slow Breathing for Calmness
Part of Lungs & breathing, Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether doing a simple jaw-stretching exercise along with a slow breathing pattern (breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 4, breathe out for 8) can help calm your body's 'fight or flight' system. It is designed for healthy students who want to try relaxation techniques.
