Effect of Acute Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback on H-reflex Modulation: A Pilot Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Heart rate variability biofeedback (HRV BFB) is paced breathing scheme that stimulates resonance in the cardiovascular system. This study aimed to investigate effect of a single-session HRV BFB on Hoffman reflex (H-reflex) soleus muscle. Twelve healthy males (height: 173.7 ± 7.18 cm; weight: 72.7 17.7 kg; age: 24.0 5.02 yrs) completed randomized-crossover intervention involving 10-minute and normal (CON) separated by 48 hours. Results revealed significantly lower 1a afferent activation after BFB. Similarly, also demonstrated proportion activated motor neurons from afferents. In conclusion, an acute influenced reduction motoneuron excitability at resting condition.

A pilot study of the efficacy of heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback in patients with fibromyalgia.
UNLABELLED Fibromyalgia (FM) is a non-inflammatory rheumatologic disorder characterized by musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, depression, cognitive dysfunction and sleep disturbance. Research suggests that autonomic dysfunction may account for some of the symptomatology of FM. An open label trial of biofeedback training was conducted to manipulate suboptimal heart rate variability (HRV), a key mark...
متن کاملNon-pharmacological Intervention for Chronic Pain in Veterans: A Pilot Study of Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback
OBJECTIVE Chronic pain is an emotionally and physically debilitating form of pain that activates the body's stress response and over time can result in lowered heart rate variability (HRV) power, which is associated with reduced resiliency and lower self-regulatory capacity. This pilot project was intended to determine the effectiveness of HRV coherence biofeedback (HRVCB) as a pain and stress ...

OBJECTIVES To present additional analysis of data from a previously published study showing that biofeedback training to increase heart rate variability (HRV) can be an effective component in asthma treatment. HRV and intervention-related changes in HRV are negatively correlated with age. Here we assess the effects of age on biofeedback effects for asthma. DESIGN Ten sessions of HRV biofeedba...
متن کاملPilot study employing heart rate variability biofeedback training to decrease anxiety in patients with eating disorders
Heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback, a technique which encourages slow meditative breathing, was offered to 25 in-patients with various eating disorder diagnoses-anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. We found that this modality had no serious side effects, and was subjectively useful to most participants. An enhanced ability to generate highly coherent HRV patterns i...
متن کاملHeart Rate Variability Biofeedback for Major Depression
Heart rate variability for the treatment of major depression is a novel, alternative approach that can offer symptom reduction with minimal-to-no noxious side effects. The following material will illustrate some of the work being conducted at our laboratory to demonstrate the efficacy of heart rate variability. Namely, results will be presented regarding our published work on an initial open-la...
