Effects of CMT on cortisol concentration. In the control group, the cortisol concentration had significantly decreased after 2 weeks of hospitalization vs the beginning (131.00 ± 18.19 vs 237.20 ± 43.86, respectively; **P < 0.05), while there was no significant change in the experimental group after 2 weeks vs the beginning (162.40 ± 23.58 vs 184.60 ± 21.17, respectively; **P > 0.05). No significant difference was noted between the two groups either at the beginning of hospitalization or 2 weeks later
