Control (CO)
Patients assigned to the IAER participated in fourty-eigth aerobic exercise therapy sessions over the course of six months.
Patients assigned to the IPBM participated in fourty-eigth transcraneal photobiomodulation (PBM) theraphy sessions, using a therapeutic laser console, over the course of six months.
Patients assigned to the IAER+PBM participated in the aerobic exercise therapy and the PBM one at the same time, during six months.
Patients assigned to the control (CO) did not participated in any kind of therapy, they just followed their usual weekly routine during six months
