Neurophysiological Approach by Self-Control of Your Stress-Related Autonomic Nervous System with Depression, Stress and Anxiety Patients.

Gepubliceerd op: 02-04-2021

Abstract: Background: Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback (HRVB) is a treatment in which patients learn self-regulation of a physiological dysregulated vagal nerve function. While the therapeutic approach of HRVB is promising for a variety of disorders, it has not yet been regularly offered in a mental health treatment setting. Aim: To provide a systematic review about the efficacy of HRV-Biofeedback in treatment of anxiety, depression, and stress related disorders. Method: Systematic review in PubMed and Web of Science

Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback Improves Emotional and Physical Health and Performance: A Systematic Review and Meta Analysis

We performed a systematic and meta analytic review of heart rate variability biofeedback (HRVB) for various symptoms and human functioning. We analyzed all problems addressed by HRVB and all outcome measures in all studies, whether or not relevant to the studied population, among randomly controlled studies. Targets included various biological and psy-chological problems and issues with athletic, cognitive, and artistic performance. Our initial review yielded 1868 papers, from which 58 met inclusion criteria. A significant small to moderate effect size was found favoring HRVB, which does not differ from that of other effective treatments. With

Heart Rate Variability, Health and Well-Being: A Systems Perspective

The development of a new tool, analytic device, or approach frequently facilitates rapid growth in scientific understanding, although the process is seldom linear. The study of heart rate variability (HRV) defined as the extent to which beat-to-beat variation in heart rate varies, is a rapidly maturing paradigm that integrates health and wellness observations across a wide variety of biomedical and psychosocial phenomena and illustrates this nonlinear path of development. The utility of HRV as an analytic and interventive technique goes far beyond its original application as a robust predictor of sudden cardiac death. This Research Topic aims to provide a conceptual

Heart Rate Variability: New Perspectives on Assessment of Stress and Health Risk at the Workplace

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are the highest cause of death in the world. Many of these deaths may be workplace related. Long hours at work seem to be influencing the increased risks of heart diseases. Workplace stress can be defined as the “discrepancies between the physiological demands within a workplace and the inability of employees to either manage or cope with such work demands.” The varied nature and perception of stress are exemplified from literature that shows stress being either a stimulus, or a response, or a stimulus–

Combining Biofeedback with Stress Management Interventions: A Systematic Review of Physiological and Psychological Effects

Gepubliceerd op: 02-01-2019

Current mental healthcare systems experience difficulties meeting the challenges of a growing population with elevated stress symptoms. Outpatient stress management interventions have already proven to be effective in routine care and recent technological advances now allow to expand such interventions, for example by adding a physiological component like biofeedback. Adding biofeedback to stress management interventions appears promising, but there is a lack of insight into the general conceptualization and evaluation of the resulting

Groepsverslag Stress REM vragenlijsten mei 2018

Gepubliceerd op: 15-05-2018

Het Soffos onderzoeksinstituut heeft in 2018 de resultaten van 1129 HeartMath coaching interventies geevalueerd. De slotconclusie van het rapport is dat de cliënten wezenlijk verbeterd zijn in hun omgang met stress door de coaching volgens de HeartMath methodiek. Bij alle dimensies is sprake van een significante verbetering van de gemiddelde scores op tijdstip T2 ten opzichte van tijdstip T1. De P-waarden zijn daarbij allen onder de 0,001, dit betekent dat de kans dat de uitslag beïnvloed wordt door andere omstandigheden dan de HeartMath coaching marginaal is.

Kan stress verminderen door het toepassen van hartcoherentie- onderzoek bij moeders van onrustige ki

Gepubliceerd op: 28-01-2009

Samenvatting: In dit onderzoek wordt de mens gezien als een dynamisch systeem, dat functioneert in voortdurend veranderende omstandigheden en streeft naar evenwicht. Binnen de grenzen van een evenwichtstoestand kan het zelfregulerend vermogen de mens in evenwicht houden, maar als de balans door nieuwe of ‘bedreigende’ omstandigheden verstoord raakt, moet een aanpassingsstrategie ontwikkeld en uitgevoerd worden voor herstel van het evenwicht. Deze toestand van onbalans wordt ‘stress’ genoemd en kan zowel op

Gepubliceerd op: 02-04-1998

This study examined the effects on healthy adults of a new emotional self-management program, consisting of two key techniques,"Cut-Thru" and the "Heart Lock-In." These techniques are designed to eliminate negative thought loops and promote sustained positive emotional states. The hypotheses were that training and practice in these techniques would yield lowered levels of stress and negative emotion and cortisol, while resulting in increased positive emotion and DHEA levels over a one-month period. In addition, we
