Systematic Review
Does heart rate variability biofeedback improve psychophysiological outcomes in adult patients with chronic diseases?
Heart rate variability biofeedback is a feasible non-pharmacological intervention that may improve autonomic function and clinical outcomes across various chronic diseases.
Fournié et al. (2021) conducted a systematic review in Chronic diseases. Heart rate variability biofeedback (HRVB) vs. With or without control conditions was evaluated on Psychophysiological outcomes. Heart rate variability biofeedback demonstrated feasibility and significant positive effects on clinical outcomes and autonomic function in adult patients with chronic diseases, without adverse effects.
