Vagal Stimulation Therapy and Preeclampsia

"The patient will be instructed to remain in a seated position, with the knee slightly ahead of the feet and the feet firmly planted on the floor, with the hips higher than the knees. The therapist will stand behind the patient. Myofascial release will be performed on the upper trapezius (UT) while the patient slowly turns their head from side to side and lets it drop forward. The therapist will then apply pressure on the opposite side of the rotation.~* Therapist's position: Behind the patient.~* Patient's position: Seated with the spine in a neutral position."

"A 30-minute session of positional release therapy will be provided every two weeks, in addition to personalized antihypertensive treatment, from the start of treatment (T0) until the final measurement (days 28 to 35 after obstetric resolution).~Keeping the cervical spine in a neutral position, the participant will be asked to lie down in a relaxed supine position. The therapist will progressively apply more pressure to the trigger points identified with their thumb. In the next step, the therapist will move to a more comfortable position that exerts less stress. The therapist will passively hold the patient's upper limbs in an abducted position, with a rest period between each repetition.~* Therapist's position: On the side of the patient.~* Patient's position: Supine."
