Why the study?
Existing neck collar devices generate discomfort due to a tight seal and lack the ability to facilitate unilateral testing and targeted carotid baroreceptor stimulation.
Does a novel strap-free neck chamber device accurately assess baroreflex sensitivity through unilateral carotid baroreceptor stimulation?
Comparison

May enable easier baroreflex assessment; leaves open larger validation before clinical adoption.
Does a novel strap-free neck chamber device accurately assess baroreflex sensitivity through unilateral carotid baroreceptor stimulation?
A novel strap-free neck chamber device successfully stimulated individual carotid baroreceptors to assess baroreflex sensitivity, demonstrating feasibility for future clinical applications such as evaluating resistant hypertension.
