Effects of Systolic Extinction Therapy in a Female Patient with Seropositive Rheumatoid Arthritis. A Case Report
Abstract:Important components of intrinsic pain regulatory systems are modulated by cardiovascular dynamics that influence bar reflex sensitivity (BRS). Various studies have shown BRS is diminished in chronic pain patients compared to healthy controls. Our own study has shown a 62% increase in BRS after systolic extinction training (SET), a cardiac gated electrical baroreceptor training combined with operant-behaviour therapy. A case report evaluated the effects of SET in a 66-year old patient with rheumatoid arthritis… Show more
