Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied

Basic study to assess physiologic effects of eurythmy therapy on cardiovascular physiology (heart rate variability) in healthy subjects.

Intervention(s)

Group 1: Eurythmy exercises 'I think the saying' and 'Migraine B'
Group 2: Control exercises: Body movements analogously to the eurythmy therapies 'I think the saying' and 'Migraine B' but without special inner aspects

Primary Outcome(s)

Alterations of cardiovascular regulation during eurythmy therapy exercises assessed by analysis of heart rate variability.

Secondary Outcome(s)

No secondary outcome specified.
