The current research approaches to measure psycho physiological stress biomarkers limit to collecting self-reports, impact on physiology, and other measures of stressor exposure because stress, unlike any other pathological condition, triggers a nonspecific response and influences multiple physiological systems. A clear mechanistic understanding of stress is still evasive and ideally, a context would use a set of biomarkers that are closer to the clinical manifestation of the disease, to measure stress response as a tool to customize therapy outcomes in clinical practice are still not done. This paper seeks to generate more mechanistic studies that lead to a much well rounded understanding or act as a review of various indices currently available for measuring chronic stress response pathways in subjective stress characterization also are discussed. These biomarkers to aid of chronic stress and a consequent discovery of biomarkers for epidemiological and diagnostic use are metabolic; cholesterol levels, albumin, waist-hip ratio and glycosylated hemoglobin, immunological; IL-6, TNF-�±, CRP, and IGF-1 and neuro-endocrine including Pregnenolone steal or cortisol escape. The stress responses are multiply determined while using any single biomarker so the challenge is to identify novel biomarkers or a combination of biomarkers and other parameters that can effectively measure stress, independent of other existing conditions for an individual. Further research steps in developing a protocol to measure stress response will be a promising new direction of research; thus shall be used for effective therapeutic outcome aimed treatments.
