Brief summary (from the registry)
This project will compare the effects of intraaural vagus nerve stimulation and deep breathing exercises on the autonomic nervous system in mothers of children with cerebral palsy. This approach will allow researchers to evaluate the effects of these practices on the autonomic nervous system. The study is planned to include 38 mothers of children with cerebral palsy between the ages of 18-50. Participants will be informed about the purpose of the study and will provide written informed consent to verify voluntary participation. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: "vagus nerve stimulation" and "deep breathing exercises." Autonomic nervous system, pain, depression, sleep quality, and caregiver burden will be assessed before and after the study.
