An eight-week online randomized controlled trial compared the Mind Sound Resonance Technique (MSRT) with Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) in female homemakers. The MSRT group showed greater improvements in psychological and physiological stress markers: anxiety decreased by 34.01%, sleep disturbance by 37.54%, and perceived stress by 37%. Physiological measures also improved, including resting heart rate (−12.07%), systolic blood pressure (−7.97%), diastolic blood pressure (−8.40%), and respiratory rate (−25.99%). All between-group differences were statistically significant with large effect sizes. The findings indicate that online MSRT is a practical, low-cost stress-management strategy for populations with limited access to conventional wellness services.
