Physical Therapy Research Symposium
Background: Reduction in heart rate variability (HRV) can strongly and independently predict adverse health outcomes.Chronic pain conditions are associated with reduced HRV, and HRV may be a biomarker for predicting chronic pain.
Purpose: While pain intensity and catastrophization are associated with chronic pain,the aim of this study is to investigate their relationship with HRV in individuals with acute pain.
Methods: Fourteen subjects from two facilities participated. Data from two participants was excluded. HRV was collected while seated as participants completed an iPad survey. Raw inter-beat interval (IBI) data was analyzed with Kubios software.
Results: Multiple regression analyses were …
