TSST - Trier Social Stress Test

In 1993, Dirk Hellhammer's research group introduced the “Trier Social Stress Test (TSST)”, which is today considered the most reliable, most valid and most standardised protocol for recording anxiety and stress under laboratory conditions (see Dickerson & Kemeny, 2004).

As a result of this, daacro's expertise is based on many years of experience and we offer a high level of expertise in running TSST studies. We were recently able to show that the TSST is a sensitive pharmacodynamic test for anxiolytics (Fries, Hellhammer & Hellhammer, 2006).
