Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find a mean difference in apnea-hipopnea index of at least 8 events/hour. Will be evaluated through polysomnography at home (ApneaLinkTM). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find a mean difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure of at least 6 mmHg and 3 mmHg, respectively. Assessment will be made by an autonomic monitor (Omron HEM 742). As well as, central blood pressure will also be assessed. Furthermore, the effect of experimental sessions on cardiac autonomic modulation will be evaluated using the heart rate variability technique. | — |
