Summary

This unicentric, controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the effects of vagus nerve neurodynamics and 6 bpm guided breathing, combined with manual therapy, on heart rate variability (HRV) in patients suffering from chronic stress. A total of 62 participants will be randomly assigned into two groups: one receiving guided breathing and neurodynamics with manual therapy, and the other receiving only guided breathing with manual therapy. HRV will be monitored using Polar® H10 sensors. The primary outcome is the change in HRV, measured pre- and post-intervention. The study is ethically approved by the Hospital Clínico San Carlos.
