Official title

Impact of Heart Rate Variability Modulation on Stress and Performance Among Neurosurgical Residents

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

This study will be conducted by using two devices (Apollo and Biostrap) for monitoring of baseline physiologic variables and heart rate variability. The biostrap will be worn by residents and will monitor heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, sleep patterns, steps, etc. The Apollo is a pulse generator device aimed at modulating heart rate variability for (hopefully) reduction in stress and improving performance in and around the hospital. Resident neurosurgeons will wear the biostrap for a two week cycle and follow that with the addition of the Apollo device for heart rate variability modulation.
