THE PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS ON THE GENERAL CONDITION OF THE PATIENT

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Hospital patients usually experience anxiety caused by physiological, psychological and environmental stimuli. This emotional state corresponds to the psychophysiological response to a perceived threat. The investigator's goal is to use a non-drug approach to these problems which would help improve the quality of life of patients, prevent the consumption of anti-anxiety drugs / antidepressants; and thus to reduce the direct cost in terms of treatment, but also to reduce the indirect costs linked to work stoppages and the consumption of the care offer. Working hypothesis: Local magnetic muscle stimulation improves people's well-being and relaxation

Detailed Description
-----------------
Primary objective : Describe the effect of the intervention on the level of anxiety / depression in patients with anxious and / or depressive characteristics Secondary objectives: Describe the variation in the quality of life of patients before and after the intervention Describe the variation in drug consumption Describe the use of post intervention hospitalization Describe the variation in the quality of sleep before and after the intervention Describe the timeframe for returning patients to professional activity

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Active Comparator: patients with anxious and / or depressive characteristics : treated group<br>patients with anxious and / or depressive characteristics, The device with the electromagnetic wave will be connected | Device: The emission of electromagnetic with the probes<br>* The patient will be in the lying position, a probe will be positioned in the middle of the chest and the second probe below the xyphoid. The probes will be fixed by a band to keep them in place. The emission of electromagnetic waves is painless.<br>|
| Placebo Comparator: patients with anxious and / or depressive characteristics : placebo group<br>The device with the electromagnetic wave will not be connected | Device: The emission of electromagnetic without the probes<br>* The patient will be in the lying position, a probe will be positioned in the middle of the chest and the second probe below the xyphoid. The probes will be fixed by a band to keep them in place. The emission of electromagnetic waves is painless.<br>|
