Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We expect to find improvement in heart rate modulation verified by the Polar H10 through heart rate variability analysis. We will observe whether the heart rate curves will behave in the same way before and after the application of the treatment through the Kubios HRV Software in the time and frequency domain | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We expect to find improvement in functional constipation assessed by the ROMA Criteria III and Constipation Scoring System questionnaires. We will observe the scores of the questionnaires before and after treatment;We expect to find a decrease in pain referred to the lower abdomen area as assessed by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), we will take into account the analysis of the scale indicated by the patient before and after the treatment, to observe if there is a difference in pain sensation;We expect to find an improvement in the mobility of the lumbar spine evaluated by the Wells bench, through the measurement of the patient's reach. We will take into account the mean and standard deviation of the measurements made by the collections before and after treatment and we will make a comparison between the measurements considering a p<0.05 significant;We expect to observe an improvement in quality of life as assessed by the SF-36 questionnaire, applied before treatment and 45 days after the first intervention. We will take into account the score of the questionnaire to compare the results | — |
