Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Increase or decrease the sympathetic / parasympathetic activity, verified from heart rate variability, with significant change between groups (statistically significant difference) on autonomic modulation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Effect on cerebral blood flow seen from transcranial doppler, with significant change between groups (statistically significant difference) of cerebral blood flow velocity and vasomotor reactivity.
