Summary

The Concert Therapy is a non-clinical, art based well-being intervention designed to support stress regulation through a structured, concert like experience. The intervention integrates three sequential phases: calming music, guided breathing with gentle movement, and uplifting music. It is intended for use with adults experiencing everyday stress in non-clinical contexts and does not involve diagnosis or treatment.

This randomised controlled trial will compare The Concert Therapy with an active control condition consisting of relaxing music listening and quiet rest. Adult participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two conditions. The primary outcome is change in self-reported perceived stress measured before and immediately after the session. Secondary outcomes include mood and short term follow-up measures of well-being and stress.

The study aims to examine whether the structured, three phase design of The Concert Therapy leads to greater improvements in perceived stress compared with non-specific relaxation and music listening alone. The trial is designed as a non-clinical well-being study and does not constitute a clinical treatment trial.

The Concert Therapy

The Concert Therapy is a non-clinical, arts based well-being intervention delivered as a single, structured session in a concert-like format. The session follows a three phase sequence consisting of calming music, guided breathing with gentle movement, and uplifting music. The intervention is designed to support stress regulation and well-being in adults experiencing everyday stress in non-clinical contexts.

OTHER

Active Control: Relaxing Music and Quiet Rest

The active control condition consists of a single session of relaxing music listening and quiet rest delivered in a similar setting and for a similar duration as the intervention arm. The session does not include the structured three phase sequence, guided breathing, or movement elements of The Concert Therapy.
