- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method As a primary outcome, it is expected to find increased cardiac parasympathetic activity, verified by the HFms2 component (high frequency per milliseconds squared), RMSSD (square root of the mean of the square of the differences between adjacent normal RR intervals), SDRR (standard deviation of the RR interval) verified by the Heart Rate Variability, from the finding of a variation of at least 20% in the pre and post-intervention measurements.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method As a secondary outcome, it is expected to find decreased sensitivity to skin pressure, verified by algometry at two different points, from the observation of a variation of more than 20%.
