Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find a statistically significant difference in the reduction of the values obtained on the scale when comparing between the groups and between the time points for the group using the Pilates Method combined with auriculotherapy

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find a statistically significant difference in the reduction of the values obtained on the scale in the improvement of quality of life when comparing between the groups and between the time points for the experimental group;It is expected to find a statistically significant difference in the increase of the values obtained in heart rate variability when comparing between the groups and between the time points for the experimental group;It is expected that a statistically significant difference will occur in the reduction of the values obtained from the anxiety scales when comparing between the groups and between the time points for the experimental group;It is expected that a statistically significant difference will occur in the reduction of the values obtained in the energy profile when comparing between the groups and between the time points for the experimental group;It is expected that a statistically significant difference will occur in the values obtained in brain activity when comparing between the groups and between the time points for the experimental group
