Filter by:Study will be randomized clinical trial. Data will be collected from non probability convenient sampling technique. Total 26 participants from Pakistan Sports Board will be selected and randomly allocated in two different groups i.e. Group A and Group B. Group A will be given high intensity interval training and Group B will be on moderate intensity continuous training. Statistical package for the social sciences will be used to analyze the results by using parametric test after confirming normality of data.
The study is aimed at comparing the differential effects of two widely used standardized meditation programs: Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) delivered in a retreat format with a cross-over design in a general population sample of healthy adults.
Background: The cause of the vegetative symptoms is a sympathetic driven misbalance of the autonomous nervous system. To restore vegetative balance in alcohol withdrawal syndrome new neuro-modulatory methods, such as percutaneous auricular vagal stimulation (pVNS) could be used. Measuring the pupil size is a suitable method to assess imbalances or dysfunctions of the vegetative regulation in individuals. Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the pupil reaction to the cholinergic antagonist tropicamide in alcohol withdrawal syndrome as a biomarker of the vegetative balance before and after pVNS. Methods: 30 patients aged between 20 and 65 were recruited in this open-label, controlled pilot trial with repeated measure design. pVNS was administered at the left cymba conchae for 72 hours with intermitted stimulation. Pupillometric recording lasted about 60 min and was performed at baseline and following pVNS. The reaction of the pupil to an anticholinergic agent was measured as a receptor-test in terms of a psychophysiological feedback mechanism to pVNS.
The study is aimed at comparing the differential effects of two widely used standardized meditation programs: Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) in general population samples. To address this goal, the effects will be measured by self-report questionnaires belonging to different domains (mindfulness, compassion, well-being, psychological distress, and psychological functioning) as well as information processing measures (i.e., Attentional Blink), and psychophysiological measures (EEG and EKG). Changes will be assessed immediately after finishing the 8-week programs and through several inter-session assessments. Data analysis will include the mean change scores differences, as well as novel network analysis procedures to assess topological reorganization of constructs derived from the programs.
