Abstract Preterm infants have maturational delays in several neurobehavioral systems. This study assesses the impact of Family Nurture Intervention (FNI) neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) on maturation autonomic regulation preterm infants. born at 26–34 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA) were assigned to groups receiving either standard (SC) or SC plus FNI, using a randomized controlled trial design. At two collection time points, approximately 35 and 41 PMA, electrocardiograms (ECG) monitored...

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a reaction to trauma that results in chronic perception of threat, precipitating mobilization the autonomic nervous system, and may be reflected by disinhibition limbic structures. A common injury preceding PTSD veterans mild traumatic brain (mTBI). This due vulnerability white matter these networks such damage affect treatment response. We evaluated transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation (tVNS), non-invasive, low-risk approach alter functions...

Abstract In psychophysiological research, measurement of respiration has been dependent on transducers having direct contact with the participant. The current study provides empirical data demonstrating that a noncontact technology, infrared video thermography, can accurately estimate breathing rate and relative tidal volume across range patterns. Video tracking algorithms were applied to frame‐by‐frame thermal images face extract time series nostril temperature generate breath‐by‐breath...

Abstract Decreased heart rate variability (HRV) is associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression symptoms, but PTSD's effects on the autonomic response potential influence of HRV biofeedback in relaxation training improving PTSD symptoms are not well understood. The objective this study was to examine impact a predeployment inoculation (PRESTINT) protocol physiologic measures large sample military population randomly assigned experimental biofeedback‐assisted versus...

The objective of this pilot study was to design, develop, and evaluate a predeployment stress inoculation training (PRESIT) preventive intervention enable deploying personnel cope better with combat-related stressors mitigate the negative effects trauma exposure. PRESIT program consisted three modules: (1) educational materials on combat operational control, (2) coping skills involving focused relaxation breathing exercises biofeedback, (3) exposure video multimedia stressor environment...

INTRODUCTION: To determine whether pretreatment vagal efficiency (VE), respiratory sinus arrhythmia, and heart period can predict pain improvement with auricular neurostimulation in pediatric functional abdominal disorders. METHODS: A total of 92 adolescents disorders underwent a 4-week randomized, double-blinded, sham-controlled trial. Electrocardiogram-derived variables at baseline were used to using mixed effects modeling. RESULTS: 3-way interaction (95% confidence intervals: 0.004–0.494)...

INTRODUCTION: The pathophysiology underlying cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) remains undefined. Scant data and distinct clinical features point to altered autonomic nervous system function. Autonomic signaling can be noninvasively assessed through cardiac indices of parasympathetic vagal regulation, which is reduced in children with disorders gut-brain interaction. We aimed examine dynamic regulation CVS compared that healthy controls (HC). METHODS: A total 31 evaluated a tertiary care center...

Heart rate variability (HRV) is a reliable indicator of health status and sensitive index autonomic stress reactivity. Stress negatively affects physical psychological wellness by decreasing cardiovascular reducing quality life. Wearable sensors have made it possible to track HRV during daily activity, recent advances in mobile technology reduced the cost difficulty applying this powerful technique. Although smaller lighter, some burden on subject remains. Chest-worn electrocardiogram (ECG)...

<bold>Background:</bold> The spread of the COVID-19 virus presents an unprecedented event that rapidly introduced widespread life threat, economic destabilization, and social isolation. human nervous system is tuned to detect safety danger, integrating body brain responses via autonomic system. Shifts in brain-body states toward danger can compromise mental health. For those who have experienced prior potentially traumatic events, threat response may be sensitive new dangers these mediate...

ABSTRACT Objectives Percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulation (PENFS) is an effective treatment for disorders of gut–brain interaction (DGBI), proposed to influence vagal pathways. Cardiac metrics such as respiratory sinus arrythmia (RSA) and efficiency (VE) can noninvasively assess parasympathetic output. Commonly used antidepressant drugs inhibit signaling may interfere with PENFS. This study examined immediate effects active compared sham PENFS on cardiac function in adolescents...

Executive functions are a set of cognitive processes essential for control and coordination, enabling the achievement objectives. These include mental exploration ideas, reasoning, logical conclusion drawing, discipline, decision making, thoughtful consideration before action, tackling unforeseen challenges, resisting temptations, maintaining focus. Numerous neuropsychological tests assess executive in relation to different autonomic pathways that regulate involuntary physiological...

<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Chronic stress and emotional cognitive regulation difficulties during early childhood are associated with risky behaviors negative outcomes later in life. As preschoolers still developing their skills, they often depend on external support to manage emotions behaviors. Intervening is essential for promoting healthy development preventing future challenges. Mindful Movement Practices (MMPs) – which incorporate physical activities, breathwork, reflective...

Auditory hypersensitivities are a common feature of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In the present study effectiveness novel intervention, Listening Project Protocol (LPP) was evaluated in two trials conducted with children diagnosed ASD. LPP developed to reduce auditory hypersensitivities. is based on theoretical "neural exercise" model that uses computer altered acoustic stimulation recruit neural regulation middle ear muscles. Features intervention stimuli were informed by basic research...

Research suggests that lower respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) is associated with greater aversive responding. One physiological indicator of responding startle potentiation. While a few studies have demonstrated an inverse association between RSA and potentiation, no study to date has distinguished whether this relation similar for predictable versus unpredictable stimuli. This important distinction, given degree predictability been shown be determinant The present examined resting was eye...

Abstract Background Joint hypermobility (JH) is associated with autonomic nervous system dysregulation and functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPDs). Understanding the neurophysiological processes linking these conditions can inform clinical interventions. Autonomic activity regulates gastrointestinal (GI) sensorimotor function may be a key mechanism. The aims of this study were to examine relation JH dynamic parasympathetic regulation in adolescents FAPDs identify optimal cutoff scores...
