Implication

Autonomic imbalance may occur in IBS; hypothesis-generating for targeted interventions pending prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Population

35 patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) (mean age 39.1 +/- 9.5 yr, M:F ratio = 2.9:1) and 18 healthy controls (mean age 38.2 +/- 6.5 yr, M:F ratio = 2:1)

Comparator

Healthy controls

Outcome

Heart rate variability (HRV) power spectra in very low (VLF), low (LF), and high (HF) frequency bands in supine, standing, and deep-breathing modessurrogate

Patients with irritable bowel syndrome exhibit autonomic dysfunction, specifically reduced sympathetic influence during orthostatic stress and diminished parasympathetic modulation during deep breathing.
