Summary
This interventional study will evaluate the effects of three complementary and alternative health care services-forest therapy, phytotherapy, and hirudotherapy-in individuals with a participation level below 55% and/or special needs. Participants will be assigned to one of three intervention groups or to a control group. The study will assess changes in blood pressure, body composition, handgrip strength, psychological well-being, perceived stress, and sleep quality before and after the intervention period. Safety, accessibility, feasibility, and acceptability of the services will also be evaluated. The findings will be used to develop standardized and evidence-informed recommendations for providing these services to people with reduced participation and/or special needs.
