Why the study?
Does combined mental stress and vestibular activation have an additive effect on forearm neurovascular control in healthy volunteers?
Does combined mental stress and vestibular activation have an additive effect on forearm neurovascular control in healthy volunteers?
Activation of the vestibulosympathetic reflex prevents forearm vasodilation during mental stress, suggesting a potential protective mechanism against stress-induced syncope.
