Do nonpharmacologic interventions improve heart rate variability?
Integrative and nonpharmacologic therapies can improve heart rate variability, which serves as an important indicator of cardiac autonomic regulation.
Khara Lucius (2023) conducted a review in Decreased heart rate variability. Integrative therapies (exercise, forest bathing, vagus stimulation, biofeedback, acupuncture) was evaluated on Heart rate variability (HRV). Nonpharmacologic interventions, including exercise, forest bathing, vagus stimulation, biofeedback, and acupuncture, have been clinically shown to improve heart rate variability.
