Official title
Measurement of Heart Rate Variability During Chiropractic Maintenance Care: Relationship Between Chiropractic Care and Autonomic Nervous System Regulation
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The objective for this study is to explore the utility of biometric devices to measure changes in heart rate variability (HRV) during chiropractic maintenance care. The study will use WHOOP wearable technology to measure HRV. Chiropractic maintenance care refers to regular visits to manage recurrent musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction \[1\]. Beyond managing pain and dysfunction, regular chiropractic visits may also promote improvements in homeostatic regulation of internal physiological conditions, but the evidence-based is lacking for these effects \[2\]. The hypothesis of this study is that chiropractic maintenance care may lead to an increase in HRV as compared to a control group that do not receive chiropractic care. 1.
