The Effect of Different Low-Level Tragus Stimulation Parameters On Autonomic Nervous System Function
Low level transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (LLTS) involves delivery of electrical impulses transcutaneously at the auricular branch of vagus nerve and it has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-arrhythmic effects. In previous studies from our laboratory, we found that LLTS significantly suppressed atrial fibrillation (AF) inducibility and decreased AF …
Evaluation of the Impact of Pulsed Field Ablation on Autonomic Nervous System Modulation in Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of pulse field (PF) energy, both alone and in combination with radiofrequency (RF) energy, on vagal modulation during point-by-point pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). The effect of PF energy on ganglionated plexi (GP) …
Effects of Autonomic Nervous System Modulation by Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback Training With Resonant Frequency Breathing on Glucose Metabolism in Individuals With Prediabetes
Approximately 20% of adults have prediabetes in Germany. Prediabetes is defined as a condition with glucose levels outside the normal range but not yet meeting the criteria for type 2 diabetes. The pathogenesis of prediabetes, as well as of type 2 diabetes, involves whole-body insulin resistance associated with inadequate insulin …
A Research Study Exploring How Musculoskeletal Function and the Autonomic Nervous System Relate to Visceral Pain in Women With and Without Dysmenorrhea (Painful Periods).
The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine if women with dysmenorrhea demonstrate an increased musculoskeletal and autonomic nervous system response to a painful visceral stimulus compared to controls. A secondary aim is to determine if interoceptive awareness moderates this relationship. The designed methodology aims to elucidate the intricate …
Early Neurovascular Adaptations in Aging Women
Our goal is to enhance our understanding of early vascular adaptations in aging women with an emphasis on the sympathetic nervous system.
Blood Pressure Effects on Cognition and Brain Blood Flow in PD
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder worldwide. Besides causing symptoms that impair movement, PD also causes non-motor symptoms, such as problems thinking and orthostatic hypotension (OH), i.e., low blood pressure (BP) when standing. About one-third of people with PD have OH, which can cause sudden, temporary …
Autonomic Reactivity and Personalized Neurostimulation
Disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI) affect up to 25% of U.S. children. Patients often suffer from disabling, multisystem comorbidities that suggest a common root (sleep disturbances, fatigue, anxiety, etc). Yet, DGBI are defined and treated based on GI symptom origin (cyclic vomiting, dyspepsia, irritable bowel) rather than underlying pathophysiology. Many …
Auricular Vagal Nerve Stimulation for Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) is a connective tissue disorder characterized by hyperextensible skin, joint hypermobility and additional connective tissue manifestations. For unclear reasons, hEDS is associated with many gastrointestinal (GI) and autonomic nervous system (ANS) complaints such as postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). This study will address the clinical relationship …
Role of Parasympathetic Activity in Mild to Severe Asthma With Fixed Airway Obstruction (PARASMA Study)
In asthma, the significant role of pathogenesis is chronic airway inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and variable airflow obstruction. Asthma with irreversible or fixed airflow obstruction (FAO) is a clinical phenotype resulting from chronic airway inflammation with having longer disease duration, suggesting that airway remodeling contributes to the decline in lung function …
Autonomic Dysfunction in Functional Dysphonia
The first objective of this research project is to compare the occurrence and frequency of symptoms and/or disorders related to autonomic dysfunction in patients with functional dysphonia with gender- and age-matched vocally healthy controls, using a case-control study. The second objective is to compare the effects of a novel therapy …
