Study summary

The Project aims to assess the long-term risk of trauma-induced stress in young persons. Using non-invasive sound therapy to assess the effects on the vagal nerve via cardiovascular effects and neural activity will provide biofeedback in these individuals.

Healthy volunteers
No
Inclusion Criteria: * 30 earthquake survivor university students between 20 and 25 will participate in the experiment. Participants will be healthy, non-obese men (n=15) and women (n=15). In particular, all participants should have experienced the earthquake disaster in the local region. All participants must be free of any chronic or acute infection, neurological, psychiatric, and/or cardiovascular disease. Exclusion Criteria: * They must be non-smokers, have no alcohol or drug addiction, and not be under any medical treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding women will not be included in the study.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Primary outcome — 2 months
    In order to carry out this study, the following basic measurements (gender, age, height, weight, blood pressure, etc.) and relative measurements from the basic measurements will be extracted. In this context, earthquake victims' cardiological, emotional, and psychological states will be observed through biomedical signals. From electrocardiogram (ECG), HRV, LF, HF, LF/HF, SDNN, and RMSSD parameters will be assessed to evaluate the autonomic nervous system, especially the parasympathetic nervous system. The fNIRS device will measure changes in oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin concentration in the cortical structure of the forebrain, as well as markers of cardiovascular and psychological risk.
