May modulate HRV in burnout; leaves open clinical utility pending larger randomized trials.
Does manual or laser needle acupuncture improve heart rate variability in patients with burnout syndrome?
Both manual and laser needle acupuncture demonstrate potential to modulate heart rate variability in patients with burnout syndrome.
Litscher et al. (2013) studied burnout syndrome (n=20). Manual needle acupuncture vs. Laser needle acupuncture was evaluated on Heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), and dynamic acupuncture treatment score (DATS). Both manual needle and laser needle acupuncture produced significant effects on heart rate variability in 20 patients with burnout syndrome.
