Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The HRV of the experimental group is expected to be improved, with a change in the time of the RR intervals captured by the ECG, showing greater autonomic response to cardiovascular demands, as well as increased sympatho-vagal interaction. This fact will show a reduction in activity sympathetic, which will allow a greater reflex response to metabolic demand, such as orthostasis, evaluated through TEOA.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
In addition to modulation of HRV, it is estimated that by means of infrared thermography, there is an increase in peripheral vasodilation at the stimulation, which will indicate reduction of sympathetic expression, a consequence of the decrease in levels of endogenous catecholamines in the current blood supply. In addition, it is desired to observe changes in systemic thermoregulation caused by electrostimulation, focusing on the vascular alterations, which will allow to bring to the literature greater elucidations about the mechanism of action of TENS on the ANS.—
