Does exogenous ovarian hormone modulation via birth control alter autonomic nervous system modulation and recovery metrics compared to naturally cycling women?
Autonomic nervous system modulation and recovery metrics differ significantly between naturally cycling women and those using birth control, varying by contraceptive type.
The patterning of ANS modulation from ovarian hormones is significantly different between naturally cycling women and those on BC, with the patterning dependent on the type of contraception used.
