Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| As a primary outcome, in response to manual osteopathic treatment in women with anxiety disorder, a better modulation of the parasympathetic nervous system is expected, as well as a better balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, measured by means of heart rate variability, through the heart rate monitor Polar H10 and the Elite HRV app. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In Hamilton Anxiety Scale, it is expected that the total score will decrease, especially in the physical symptoms of anxiety, representing a lower level of anxiety disorder.;In superficial skin tomography, it is expected that the temperature of the Corrugator of the eyebrow and Periorbital muscles will decrease, if they are altered, representing a lower sympathetic activity in these muscles.;In the WHOQOL-bref (World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire, a higher total score is expected, especially in the items that refer to physical capacity, representing a better quality of life in general.;In PSQI (Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index), a lower total score is expected, representing a better quality of sleep;In the collection of salivary cortisol, a decrease in its levels is expected, representing an improvement in an indicator of global stress. | — |
