Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The hypothesis of the study in question is that the relaxation technique (Autogenic Training of Schultz) intensifies the effects of anxiolytic drugs, causing greater Heart Rate Variability. This verification is done through the Polar PróTrainer 5 and e-Sense Skin Response equipment, responsible for recording cardiac autonomic activity. This analysis is done in two moments, one with the application of the relaxation technique and the other without this application, and both moments with the ingestion of the anxiolytic medication. | — |
