Background: Heart rate variability biofeedback (HRV-BF) has emerged as a promising non-pharmacological intervention for stress and emotional regulation. This study aimed to evaluate the longitudinal effects of HRV-BF on perceived stress, depression, and anxiety among international medical students over 12 weeks. 
Methods: A total of 47 international medical students participated in the study, with psychological assessments conducted at two time points

Abstract: Breast cancer survivors experience numerous chronic symptoms linked to autonomic dysfunction including anxiety, stress, insomnia, menopausal symptoms, and cognitive impairment. Effective non-pharmacological solutions to address these are currently lacking. Methods: Our three-armed longitudinal randomized controlled trial assessed the effectiveness of a 4-week remote smartphone-based heart rate variability biofeedback intervention which involved daily paced breathing at 6 breaths p/min; active (12 breaths p/min) and waitlist

Abstract: Background: A commonly observed phenomenon is that although the players in a baseball team have received the same raining content and volume, their batting performance is quite different. As no optimal solution exists for this problem at present, this study attempted to explore the potential of heart rate availability biofeedback (HRVB) to reduce anxiety and improve batting performance in university baseball players. Materials and Methods: A total of 18 college baseball players were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. Both groups answered questionnaires and had their physiological signals and batting performance measured on the first

Psychological stress among frontline healthcare workers (HCWs) increased during the COVID?19 pandemic, elevating mental health risks. Heart rate variability biofeedback (HRV?BF) is an evidence?based intervention with potential to reduce psychological burden on frontline HCWs; however, no studies have examined its use among this population since the pandemic began.
We designed a trial to assess the effects of a brief HRV?BF intervention delivered via telemedicine on measures of anxiety, depression and

Background: People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequently experience high levels of anxiety. Despite this, many clinical settings do not provide specialist ASD mental health services, and demand for professional support frequently outstrips supply. Across many sectors of health, investigators have explored digital health solutions to mitigate demand and extend the reach of professional practice beyond traditional clinical settings.

Although treatments exist for children with behavioural disorders, they often require significant time and are costly. The current pilot study aimed to conduct a preliminary investigation to examine the feasibility of a brief heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback intervention for children with behavioural disorders in New Zealand (NZ). Participants included 10 children aged between 6 and 11 years who were referred to secondary mental healthcare services in NZ to treat non compliant and aggressive behaviours. Participants included in the study had at

Background: Heart rate variability biofeedback (HRVB) is a non-pharmacological intervention used in the management of chronic diseases.
Method: A systematic search was performed according to eligibility criteria including adult chronic patients, HRVB as main treatment with or without control conditions, and psychophysiological outcomes as dependent variables.
 

HeartMath technology is an innovative technique to improving emotional mental health. A small-scale study was conducted to investigate the effect of quick coherence technique on psychophysiological coherence, stress, anxiety, depression and feeling state in young adults in India. Present study is in line with the past research done by S.D.Edwards (2016) on ‘Influence of Heartmath Quick Coherence Technique on Psychophysiological Coherence and Feeling States’. Six postgraduate students who complained of stress, anxiety and depression were

Abstract: Background: Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback (HRVB) is a treatment in which patients learn self-regulation of a physiological dysregulated vagal nerve function. While the therapeutic approach of HRVB is promising for a variety of disorders, it has not yet been regularly offered in a mental health treatment setting. Aim: To provide a systematic review about the efficacy of HRV-Biofeedback in treatment of anxiety, depression, and stress related disorders. Method: Systematic review in PubMed and Web of Science

We performed a systematic and meta analytic review of heart rate variability biofeedback (HRVB) for various symptoms and human functioning. We analyzed all problems addressed by HRVB and all outcome measures in all studies, whether or not relevant to the studied population, among randomly controlled studies. Targets included various biological and psy-chological problems and issues with athletic, cognitive, and artistic performance. Our initial review yielded 1868 papers, from which 58 met inclusion criteria. A significant small to moderate effect size was found favoring HRVB, which does not differ from that of other effective treatments. With

The development of a new tool, analytic device, or approach frequently facilitates rapid growth in scientific understanding, although the process is seldom linear. The study of heart rate variability (HRV) defined as the extent to which beat-to-beat variation in heart rate varies, is a rapidly maturing paradigm that integrates health and wellness observations across a wide variety of biomedical and psychosocial phenomena and illustrates this nonlinear path of development. The utility of HRV as an analytic and interventive technique goes far beyond its original application as a robust predictor of sudden cardiac death. This Research Topic aims to provide a conceptual

Background.Some evidence suggests that heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback might be an effective way to treat anxiety and stress symptoms. To examine the effect of HRV biofeedback on symptoms of anxiety and stress, we conducted a meta-analysis of studies extracted from PubMed, PsycINFO and the Cochrane Library.Methods.The search identified 24 studies totaling 484 participants who received HRV biofeedback training for stress and anxiety. We conducted a random-effects meta-analysis. Results.The pre-post within-group effect size

ACHTERGROND: Hartritmevariabiliteitbiofeedback (hrvb) is een non-invasieve behandelwijze waarbij de patiënt verondersteld wordt te werken aan zelfregulatie van een verstoorde N.-vagusfunctie. De behandeling met hrvb is wellicht klinisch relevant bij stressgerelateerde stoornissen, maar wordt weinig toegepast in de reguliere behandeling. DOELOnderzoek van effectiviteit van hrvb als mogelijk psychofysiologische aanvulling bij behandeling van angst, depressie en de posttraumatische stressstoornis (ptss). METHODE:

Health care that addresses the emotional regulation capacity of patients with schizophrenia confronted with daily stress may contribute to a less anxious life. A psycho-physiological training [cardiac coherence training(CCT)] focusing on emotion regulation is known to decrease anxiety for healthy individuals. We performed a pilot cross sectional survey to explore the benefits of CCT for clinically stable patients with schizophrenia. Ten patients were enrolled in the program consisting of twelve weekly 1-h session programs monitored over a 2-month

Globally, graduate students have been found to have high prevalence of mental health problems. With increasing severity of mental health problems on university campuses and limited resources for mental health treatment, alternative interventions are needed.This study investigated the use of biofeedback training to help reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. A sample of 60 graduate students in public health nursing was randomly assigned to either the biofeedback intervention or the control group. Results indicated that biofeedback

Purpose.It has been well documented that nursing students across the world experience stress and anxiety throughout their education and training. The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to investigate the impact of biofeedback intervention program on nursing students’ levels of stress and anxiety during their first clinical training. Methods.Participants consisted of 60 second-year baccalaureate nursing students. The 30 participants in the biofeedback group received training on how to use the biofeedback device to assist in stress and

Inleiding: De hartcoherentietraining is   gebaseerd op het beïnvloeden van de hartritme-variabiliteit(HRV).  Aan  de  training  worden  stressverminderende  eigenschappen  toegekenddie  een positieve  invloed zouden  hebben  op  het  psychisch  welbevinden. De  hoofdvraag  van  het  huidige onderzoek  betreft  of  de  hartcoherentietraining  effectief  is  in  het  verbeteren  van  het  psychisch welbevinden.  De  effecten  van  de  hartcoherentietraining  zullen  worden  vergeleken  met  de effecten van  een  mindfulnesstraining.

Podiumangst komt veel voor in de beroepspraktijk van musici en wordt vaak niet op een effectieve manier behandeld of onderkend. Een belangrijke reden daarvoor is dat het onderwerp nog steeds met taboe is omgeven. In samenwerking met GGZ Heerenveen en ‘Complete Coaching’, een instituut voor onder meer coaching en psychotherapie, is onder auspiciën van het lectoraat Lifelong Learning in Music &the Artseen onderzoeksproject opgezet, gericht op het omgaan met stress bij studenten van het Prins Claus Conservatorium. Dit project

Heart rate variability (HRV) is a measure of the beat-to-beat variations in heart rate related to the work of autonomic nervous system. It may serve as a  sychophysiological indicator for arousal, emotional state and stress level. We used this parameter in both the assessment and biofeedback training, for dealing with five groups of common mental health problem in school children (anxious-phobic, somatoform, obsessive-compulsive, attention deficit hyperactivity and conduct disorders). The obtained results were compared with healthy children at

Samenvatting: In dit onderzoek wordt de mens gezien als een dynamisch systeem, dat functioneert in voortdurend veranderende omstandigheden en streeft naar evenwicht. Binnen de grenzen van een evenwichtstoestand kan het zelfregulerend vermogen de mens in evenwicht houden, maar als de balans door nieuwe of ‘bedreigende’ omstandigheden verstoord raakt, moet een aanpassingsstrategie ontwikkeld en uitgevoerd worden voor herstel van het evenwicht. Deze toestand van onbalans wordt ‘stress’ genoemd en kan zowel op

Introduction: This study utilizes HRV analysis to examine a new method of intentionally shifting emotional states, and demonstrates that positive emotions lead to alterations in sympathovagal balance that may be beneficial in the treatment of hypertension. Anger, on the other hand, was shown to significantly increase sympathetic activation.
Summary: Salivary IgA, heart rate and mood were measured in thirty individuals before and after experiencing care or anger. Two methods
