Brief summary

Hospital patients usually experience anxiety caused by physiological, psychological and environmental stimuli. This emotional state corresponds to the psychophysiological response to a perceived threat. The investigator's goal is to use a non-drug approach to these problems which would help improve the quality of life of patients, prevent the consumption of anti-anxiety drugs / antidepressants; and thus to reduce the direct cost in terms of treatment, but also to reduce the indirect costs linked to work stoppages and the consumption of the care offer. Working hypothesis: Local magnetic muscle stimulation improves people's well-being and relaxation

Detailed description

Primary objective : Describe the effect of the intervention on the level of anxiety / depression in patients with anxious and / or depressive characteristics Secondary objectives: * Describe the variation in the quality of life of patients before and after the intervention * Describe the variation in drug consumption * Describe the use of post intervention hospitalization * Describe the variation in the quality of sleep before and after the intervention * Describe the timeframe for returning patients to professional activity

Interventions

DEVICEThe emission of electromagnetic with the probes

The patient will be in the lying position, a probe will be positioned in the middle of the chest and the second probe below the xyphoid. The probes will be fixed by a band to keep them in place. The emission of electromagnetic waves is painless.

DEVICEThe emission of electromagnetic without the probes

The patient will be in the lying position, a probe will be positioned in the middle of the chest and the second probe below the xyphoid. The probes will be fixed by a band to keep them in place. The emission of electromagnetic waves is painless.
