Is massage the key to better heart rate variability in preterm infants?

In 2013, a groundbreaking study researchers have discovered that massage therapy significantly enhances heart rate variability (HRV), a crucial measure of autonomic nervous system (ANS) function, in preterm infants. The study, led by S. L. Smith and colleagues, involved a randomized, masked longitudinal trial with medically stable preterm infants between 29 to 32 weeks of gestational age. A total of 37 infants participated in the … Continue reading Is massage the key to better heart rate variability in preterm infants?

How does lower back pain influence heart rate variability response to chiropractic treatment?

In 2009, a study led by Richard A Roy and colleagues, the effects of chiropractic treatments on heart rate variability (HRV) were investigated in patients with and without lower back pain. The study aimed to compare HRV modulation following manual assisted mechanical force (Activator) or traditional diversified technique spinal manipulation. The research involved 51 participants who were randomly assigned to control, treatment, or sham groups. … Continue reading How does lower back pain influence heart rate variability response to chiropractic treatment?

How does a specialized physical rehabilitation program contribute to the correction of autonomic nervous system function in women with postmastectomy syndrome?

In 2016, Odinets, et. al., conducted research about Postmastectomy syndrome, which is characterized by psycho-emotional and functional disorders in various body systems, is a common consequence of breast cancer treatment. This study aimed to assess the impact of a program of differential physical rehabilitation on the functional state of the autonomic nervous system in women with postmastectomy syndrome during the stationary stage of rehabilitative treatment. … Continue reading How does a specialized physical rehabilitation program contribute to the correction of autonomic nervous system function in women with postmastectomy syndrome?
