Abstract

In this 30 day open-label study, participants (n=25) endorsing significant stress (assessed via STAI) were recruited to test a novel device designed to stimulate the affective touch pathway and interoceptive system. In the sample of compliant participants (n=17), significant reductions in stress were reported.
