About this study

Anxiety is an emotional disorder. It's a painful concern caused by uncertainty. It is a complex phenomenon misunderstood in spite of medical progress. Relaxation is a technical for reduce anxiety and is effective and safe. Previous study demonstrated the impact of session relaxation on the autonomous nervous system by the heart rate variability.

Primary objective of this new study is to demonstrate a link between heart rate variability and reduced anxiety during relaxation session.

Read the detailed description

It is monocentric, prospective and interventional study. This study will be proposed at the patients who will have an orthopedic surgery in full hospitalization. These patients are anxious because of surgery too. The day before surgery anesthetist save heart rate variability and value of the partial pressure of carbon dioxide during relaxation session.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • relaxation sessionOther

    During relaxation session, patients anxious will have three electrodes for save heart rate variability and a sensor for save value of the partial pressure of carbon dioxide.

    Before and after relaxation session, patient evaluates his anxiety by visual analogue scale (VAS) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-Y).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. high frequency

    from the variation of heart rate. Measured by electrocardiogram.

    Measured: continuously during the relaxation session

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. anxiety

    Measured with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-Y) Interpretation : Very high:> to 65 High: from 56 to 65 Average: from 46 to 55 Low: from 36 to 45 Very low: <or = 35

    Measured: after the relaxation session at day 1

  2. low frequency

    Measured by electrocardiogram.

    Measured: continuously during the relaxation session

  3. the ratio of high frequencies to low frequencies

    Measured by electrocardiogram.

    Measured: continuously during the relaxation session

  4. PetCO2

    measured with a sensor fixed in front of the nostril

    Measured: continuously during the relaxation session
