Population

Concussed athletes and soldiers, and individuals with post concussive syndrome (PCS)

Design

Review

Key result

Heart rate variability biofeedback is a promising intervention for the treatment of sports and military-related concussions and post-concussion syndrome, though further empirical validation is needed.

Overview

May support adjunctive use in concussion rehab; leaves open efficacy pending controlled trials.

Structured PICO

Does heart rate variability biofeedback training improve cognitive and performance outcomes in concussed athletes and soldiers?

P
Population
Concussed athletes and soldiers, and individuals with post concussive syndrome (PCS)
I
Intervention
Heart rate variability biofeedback (HRV BFB) training

Heart rate variability biofeedback training is highlighted as a promising and underutilized treatment for sports and military-related concussion rehabilitation.

Limitations

  • Lack of randomized controlled trials on symptomatic post-concussion athletes and soldiers
  • Current evidence relies heavily on case studies and studies in non-injured populations

Cite This Study

Conder et al. (2014) conducted a review in Concussion and post-concussion syndrome. Heart rate variability biofeedback (HRV BFB) was evaluated. Heart rate variability biofeedback is a promising intervention for the treatment of sports and military-related concussions and post-concussion syndrome, though further empirical validation is needed.
