CONTEXT

Meditation is very useful to relieve stress via hypothalamo-pituitory axis. Meditation is considered to be useful to relieve stress and cardio-respiratory health.

AIMS

To compare the effect of meditation on autonomic function including heart rate variability (HRV) over a period of 3 months of meditation.

SETTINGS AND DESIGN

Longitudinal study conducted at Physiology Department, AIIMS Bhopal.

METHODS AND MATERIALS

Thirty healthy volunteers doing meditation were evaluated for autonomic function using autonomic function test battery (Ewing's battery) and HRV using Power lab (Ad instrument) and digital electrocardiograph (MARKS).

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED

Statistical analysis was done using statistical software. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used.

RESULTS

Significant change was seen in Valsalva ratio and lying to standing 30:15 ratio. There was no significant change in other parameters studied with 3 months of meditation.

CONCLUSIONS

Three months of meditation does not have any significant effect on major parameters of autonomic functions.

背景

冥想通过下丘脑 - 垂体轴缓解压力非常有用。冥想被认为对缓解压力和心肺健康有益。

目的

比较冥想3个月对自主神经功能（包括心率变异性（HRV））的影响。

设置与设计

在博帕尔全印医学科学研究所生理学系进行的纵向研究。

方法与材料

使用自主神经功能测试组合（尤因测试组合）对30名进行冥想的健康志愿者的自主神经功能进行评估，并使用Power lab（Ad仪器）和数字心电图仪（MARKS）对HRV进行评估。

所用统计分析方法

使用统计软件进行统计分析。采用威尔科克森符号秩检验。

结果

瓦尔萨尔瓦比率和卧位到立位30:15比率有显著变化。冥想3个月后，所研究的其他参数没有显著变化。

结论

3个月的冥想对自主神经功能的主要参数没有任何显著影响。
