Abstract :

Introduction: Heart rate variability (HRV) is a parameter that analyzes more accurately how autonomic nervous system controls heart function. It is widely use in the evaluation of patients with prevalent worldwide chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, asthma, dysmenorrhea, depression and insomnia, among others. There is evidence in the medical literature of acupuncture impact on HRV; but not with the use of Neural therapy. Objective: Compare the effect of neural therapy and acupuncture in healthy subjects on the autonomic nervous system by analyzing the heart rate variability by nonlinear method. Methodology: In a controlled environment with 25 healthy subjects, three registers of Heart Rate (HR) with a Polar RS800 Clock were performed in supine and standing. Each participant receives a stimulus with Neural therapy. Kubios HRV software program was use to analyze heart rate variability (HRV), discriminating the Low Frequency (LF) and High Frequency (HF) bands. For statistical analysis a non-linear method was used with a significance value of p<0.05. Results: With the encouragement of neural therapy, a significant difference was demonstrated in the LF / HF ratio and variable HF; which it is associated with a reduction in sympathetic activity, accompanied by an increase in the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system. Conclusions: Neural Therapy showed a decreased response of the sympathetic system with increased parasympathetic response. This work showed that Neural therapy have a statistically significant impact (p<0.05) on the increase in the response of the parasympathetic nervous system, unlike the results obtained with acupuncture available in the literature.
