Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Minority, incapacity to consent, patients with dialysis shunts and patients after mamma ablation and axillary LK extirpation in whom blood pressure measurement for more than 20 minutes is contraindicated. Patients with severe cardiac conduction/excitation disorders (e.g., atrial fibrillation, HF <50 bpm, systolic blood pressure =180mmHG) or a pacemaker are excluded as this may lead to distorted physiological parameters.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| At 5 different time points, 4 standardized self-report questionnaires are completed by the participants. These are called: German Pain Questionnaire (DSF), PANAS (positive and negative affect schedule), DASS (Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale) and QLQ-C30 (Quality of Life Questionnaire). They assess pain, mood, anxiety and depression symptoms, emotional well-being, and quality of life. At 5 different time points, 5 cardiovascular parameters are collected in the clinic using a measuring device called VascAssist®. These include blood pressure, heart rate, heart rate variability, which is determined by calculating the square root of the differences of the RR intervals using RMSSD (root mean square of successive differences) and the standard deviations of the RR intervals using SDNN (standard deviation of the NN interval=RR interval), and aortic and peripheral pulse wave velocity. The study ends after 4 weeks for each participant. Differences of the individual parameters after the respective intervention weeks or washout periods should be detected. | — |
