Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1.To study Anger Assessment Ratings on STAXI-2 should reduce significantly at the end of the study when compared with the pre-test scores 2. To study Subjective Distress 3.To study Objective Parameters: -Systolic & Diastolic Blood Pressure Timepoint: 1. Duration of study: 18 months. 2. Duration of each case: Cases will be managed upto the date of improvement or observed for a periodof minimum 6 months. 3. Duration of follow up of each case:The follow ups will be taken at the interval of 15-20 days. 4. whole result of outcome will be explained at the end of 18 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1.The outcome measures will be changes in the systolic and / or diastolic blood pressure at a timeline of six months. 2.The effect size was considered as the lowering of systolic and diastolic BP by a minimum of 15 mm and 6 mm of Hg, respectively. Thus, cases where this lowering in SBP and DBP was observed will be scribed as ‘improved’ and the rest ‘not improved’. 3.The study end-point will be lowering of BP following intervention. The primary safety end-point will be any adverse event during the study in any of the groups. The stopping guidelines will be, a marked deterioration of health condition and / or constant increase in BP among subjects in either groupTimepoint: 6 months | — |
