After the termination of the four-week protocol, when the pre- and post-intervention PSS mean values were compared for AE and SN individually, the results were statistically extremely significant, which demonstrated that both AE and SN proved beneficial in reducing the level of stress in MPs, with SN statistically being more beneficial (Table 2 ).

The diagnosis of soft tissue TB is usually based on medical history, morphological features, laboratory tests, and histopathological features [ 9 , 11 ], but due to the similarity of these lesions to other skin diseases, the diagnosis may be complex, the diagnosis process may be long, and there may be significant delays.
