Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Thirty (n=30) participants were selected for the study. These were randomized through
purposive sampling technique which is a type of non-probability sampling technique, into
two groups: group A (Rhythmic initiation, n=15) and group B (Slow reversal, n=15). The
participants were then randomly allocated to both groups by lottery method.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)

Blinding description
participants were not told which group they have been allocated, neither they know the treatment of other group participants.
