Why the study?

Does 5 days of integrative body-mind training (IBMT) alter central and autonomic nervous system interaction compared to relaxation training?

Comparison

5 days of integrative body-mind training (IBMT) vs 5 days of relaxation training

Follow-up

5 days

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

May inform brief mind-body interventions for autonomic regulation; leaves open durability and clinical translation in cardiovascular populations.

Does 5 days of integrative body-mind training (IBMT) alter central and autonomic nervous system interaction compared to relaxation training?

Intervention

5 days of integrative body-mind training (IBMT)

Comparator

5 days of relaxation training

Outcome

Physiological and brain changes at rest before, during, and after training (including heart rate, respiratory amplitude and rate, skin conductance response, heart rate variability, EEG power, and brain imaging)surrogate

Short-term integrative body-mind training improves autonomic nervous system regulation by a ventral midfrontal brain system compared to relaxation training.
