Assessment

Primary outcomes

1. Change in fatigue Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) from baseline (pre-treatment on Day 1) to pre-treatment on Day 15

Key secondary outcomes

1. Change in fatigue VAS from baseline (post-treatment on Day 1) to pre-treatment on Day 15

2. Changes in fatigue VAS from baseline (pre-treatment and post-treatment on Day 1) to Day 8 and post-treatment on Day 15

3. Changes in heart rate, low frequency (LF)/high frequency (HF), Coefficient of variation of R-R interval (CVR-R), total power (TP), coefficient of component variance TP (ccvTP), muscle hardness, and salivary cortisol from baseline (pre-treatment and post-treatment on Day 1) to Day 8 and pre- and post-treatment on Day 15

4. Changes in feeling calm/relaxed or anxious/tense VAS and feeling refreshed or depressed VAS from baseline (the day before the intervention start) at each time point from the day of intervention start through Day 14

5. Measured values of fatigue VAS, heart rate, LF/HF, CVR-R, TP, ccvTP, muscle hardness, and salivary cortisol at Day 8 and pre- and post-treatment on Day 15 (intra-group comparisons with pre- and post-treatment on Day 1)

6. Measured values of fatigue VAS, heart rate, LF/HF, CVR-R, TP, ccvTP, muscle hardness, and salivary cortisol at post-treatment on Day 1 (intra-group comparison with pre-treatment on Day 1)

7. Measured values of fatigue VAS, heart rate, LF/HF, CVR-R, TP, ccvTP, muscle hardness, and salivary cortisol at post-treatment on Day 15 (intra-group comparison with pre-treatment on Day 15)
