4th Ventricular Compression Technique
"The investigator who applied the technique stood on top of the headboard of the table, with feet flat on the floor, at an appropriate level in relation to the volunteer's headboard.~The investigator joins hands in a cupping position, with the pads of the 1st fingers forming a triangle. The pads of the 1st fingers make contact with the spinous processes of the 2nd and 3rd cervical vertebrae. The thenar eminences make contact with the occipital squama, avoiding contact with the occipito-mastoid sutures during 5 minutes.~A second Investigator was sitting on a chair, placed on the opposite side of the head of the table with a stopwatch in his dominant hand, in order to time the application time of each technique."
