Key result
A five-visit heart rate variability biofeedback protocol was refined for treating asthma, with similar methods used for pain, anxiety, depression, and other psychophysiological disorders.
This paper outlines a five-visit heart rate variability biofeedback protocol applicable to clinical and research settings for various psychophysiological disorders.
Supports protocol standardization for HRV biofeedback in psychophysiological disorders; leaves open prospective validation of outcomes.
This paper describes a five-visit heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback protocol we have used both clinically and in research. This protocol was refined in a study of biofeedback therapy for treating asthma. Similar, longer methods have been used for treating various conditions involving pain, anxiety, depression, and other psychophysiological disorders.
