“…All subjects were instructed not to practice at home and were furthermore not allowed to participate in any breathing trainings or meditation programs during the washout period. After inclusion, all subjects received written handouts explaining the course of the study and an instruction manual for DSB, according to the recommendations from breathing literature [32]. Furthermore, they received two experimental sessions of DSB guided by a biofeedback and breathing expert scheduled several days apart from the beginning of each of both interventions.…”
Our results suggest that the way of breathing decisively influences autonomic and pain processing, thereby identifying DSB in concert with relaxation as the essential feature in the modulation of sympathetic arousal and pain perception.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
