Progress in the study of insomnia and its non-drug treatment in relation to heart rate variability
Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases - Year 2024, Vol 50, Issue 2
Abstract
Heart rate variability (HRV) is an important indicator of autonomic nervous system function, reflecting the dynamic balance of autonomic regulation. Reviewing the effects of insomnia on HRV and the potential effects of non-pharmacological treatments on HRV regulation, the evidence suggests that HRV abnormalities in patients with insomnia are mainly manifested as reduced parasympathetic and sympathetic hyperfunction and that non-pharmacological treatments, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and physiotherapy, can restore autonomic homeostasis by regulating HRV, although the specific mechanisms of their effects need to be further elucidated. However, the exact mechanism of action remains to be further elucidated. Deepening the understanding of the relationship between insomnia and HRV and exploring the potential of non-pharmacological therapies to modulate HRV in clinical settings may provide guidance for future research directions and clinical practice.
