Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Heart rate & heart rate variability will be assessed before & after intervention by using 16 channel polygraph (BIOPAC System MP 160). The Ag/AgCl pre gelled electrodes will be placed according to the standard limb lead II configuration for recording electrocardiogram. Data will be acquired at the sampling rate of 2000Hz.Timepoint: 20 minutes

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
