Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in baseline frequency of maximum of cross-spectrum during 6 weeks (Hz)

Time Frame: 0, 3, 7, 14, and 42 days

the link between the normalized high frequency component of heart rate variability (HRV-HFnu) representing cardiac vagal modulation and frontal alpha power related to resting state

Secondary Outcomes
