However, there is a lack of research on this topic and studies with mainly objective measurements are scarce.<h4>Materials and methods</h4>In this pilot double-blinded Randomized Controlled Trial we used a multimodal approach to measurement of acute stress response in 54 international university students attending a university summer school in Olomouc, the Czech Republic who were individually randomized into a group receiving LFS vibration and a control group. In both groups, the acute stress response was measured by heart rate variability (HRV), visual analogue scales (VAS) for stress anFrontiers in psychology980756https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9606670biostudies-literatureEffect of low frequency sound vibration on acute stress response in university students-Pilot randomized controlled trial.PMC9606670Li JSmrcka PKantor JVilimek ZCampbell EAViteznik MBucharova MJanickova KGrohmannova JKantorova LJanatova MKrahulcova KDu JRegec VSpinarova GfalseEffect of low frequency sound vibration on acute stress response in university students-Pilot randomized controlled trial.<h4>Background</h4>Low frequency sound (LFS, combined with music listening) is applied by practitioners in vibroacoustic therapy who report a positive effect of this intervention on acute stress response.
