Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Demonstrate a 50% increase in sympathovagal index measured by heart rate variability analisys in the group submitted to transcutaneous electrostimulation compared to the control and placebo groups. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To demonstrate a 20% increase in heart rate and blood pressure in subjects submitted to transcutaneous electrostimulation compared to control and placebo groups.;Observe the effects of transcutaneous electrostimulation at acupuncture points on oxidative stress through the analysis of reactive oxygen species in saliva with the DCFH oxidation technique. It is expected to observe reduction of this oxidative stress, however it is not possible to estimate the degree of variation. | — |
