Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the response of the autonomic nervous system to osteopathic manipulative treatment. The behavior of the ANS will be studied through heart rate variability (HRV). For this we will use the Polar Wearlink® (Kempele, Finland) cardiofrequency meter with Hybrid Transmitter (Kempele, Finland). The electrical signal will be sent through the Polar Windlink to Polar ProTrainer 5 software (Kempele, Finland). Data will be exported for analysis by Kubios HRV Standart software version 3.1 (University of Kuopio, Kuopio, Finland). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Perception of pain To access the participants' perception of pain, we will use the numerical scale of pain evaluation of 11 points (NPRS; 0: no pain, 10: maximum pain). (14) Pain will be quantified before treatment and after one week of term.;Functional disability To access perceived functional disability we will use the Roland Morris questionnaire. The disability will be quantified pre-treatment and after one week of completion.;Quality of life To access perceived quality of life, we will use the WHOQOL-bref questionnaire. Quality of life will be quantified pre-treatment and after one week of term. | — |
