Effect of a Sequence of Specific Manual Therapy Techniques Targeting the Autonomic Nervous System in Healthy Adults

NCT06477822 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 96

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The activity of the autonomic nervous system has been shown to influence the appearance of symptoms in some diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, or migraine, among others. In the bibliography we find different authors who, through intervention using manual therapy, have demonstrated its effects on the autonomic nervous system, especially on the increase in parasympathetic activity and reduction in sympathetic activity. A clinical trial is proposed to verify these effects.
