Fig. 7

Group comparison of stress parameters at baseline (Bl), after 5.5 (T1) and 12 months (T2), and changes from Bl to T1 (= D1) and from Bl to T2 (= D2). Legend Fig. 7: * p-values < 0.05 for changes within groups. # p-values < 0.05 for % change after relaxation within groups (whether % change after relaxation differs from 0). Baseline: on average 5 weeks before the start of intervention. Cortisol before relaxation (nmol/L): plasma cortisol before biofeedback relaxation exercise. Cortisol after relaxation (% change): percentage change of plasma cortisol after biofeedback relaxation exercise compared to cortisol before relaxation. BI: baseline, PM: PathMate2 group, CON: Control group, TICS: Trierer Stress Inventar questionnaire. The numbers above or below the boxplots indicate the number of patients investigated at each point of time
