Clinical trials: Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
Heart Rate Variability
Heart Rate Variability and Emotion Regulation
Previous research suggests that heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback aimed at increasing HRV can reduce anxiety and stress. However, some mental quiescence practices that reduce HRV during the practice sessions also lead to…

Chronic Neuromuscular Pain
HRV Biofeedback in Pain Patients
Pain initiates a stress response that increases sympathetic output and leads to autonomic imbalance. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a easy to perform, valid measure of autonomic function.

Relaxation and Heart Rate Variability
Primary: To characterize the physiologic changes of the autonomic nervous system, demonstrated by heart rate variability (HRV) high frequency (HF) spectral analysis, before and after a 15 minute, one-time, guided relaxation…

Heart Rate Variability
Does Heart Rate Variablity (HRV) Predict Hypotension in Patients Undergoing Cervical Myelopathy Surgery ?
Cervical myelopathy is commonly associated with degenerative spinal disease. Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system is also evident in many cases of cervical myelopathy.

Chronic Pain Due to Injury
Effects of Intramuscular (IM) Oxytocin on Pupil Diameter and Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
The goal of this study is to test the effects of oxytocin on heart rate variability and pupil diameter, both of which have subtle effects on the activity rate of the autonomic nervous system.
