“…First, HRV, was a keyword burst from 2018 to 2022 with its highest strength a value of 10.19. HRV is a marker of cardiac autonomic regulation, which is negatively associated with an increased risk for CVD (Jarczok et al, 2022; Siepmann et al, 2022). Exploring the effect of TCEs on HRV can largely reflect the effect of TCEs on CVD.…”

Traditional Chinese exercises (TCEs) have great value in the prevention and effective treatment of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Our purpose in this study was to summarize present research trends and future directions regarding the link between TCEs and CVD by bibliometrics analysis. We searched the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) for all original articles and reviews on TCEs for CVD published in English before August 7, 2022 using CiteSpace 5.8.R3 and Microsoft Excel 2019 software, and we displayed the results in the form of network maps, line graphs, and tables. We initially obtained 725 articles. Our results showed that the United States was the most influential country in this line of research, with Harvard University the most prolific institution in the field, and, Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine was the most productive journal for these articles. The highest-frequency keywords in this research area were Tai Chi, exercise, blood pressure, quality of life, and older adult. Additionally, important research topics included heart rate variability, quality of life, meta-analysis, Baduanjin exercise, and breathing exercise. In addition, our results revealed that among all the TCEs, Tai Chi, Baduanjin, and Qigong emerged as the most extensively studied. However, it’s important to note our exclusive focus on literature published in English may have led to our missing important results. Future investigators should broaden their search to include other databases and languages to present a still more comprehensive overview of this field.

“…This can foster real-time monitoring of autonomic state for more timely PD diagnosis and proper management ( Ahn et al, 2021 ). Additionally, the statistical nature of timings of heartbeats has proven a robust measure of autonomic tone; it is important for PD management to promptly capture subtleties of heartbeat fluctuations ( Siepmann et al, 2022 ). A recent finding studied the statistics of heart interbeat intervals in diabetic gastroparesis patients by instrumenting them wearable ECG monitoring device.…”

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic movement disorder characterized by a variety of motor and nonmotor comorbidities, including cognitive impairment, gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction, and autonomic/sleep disturbances. Symptoms typically fluctuate with different settings and environmental factors and thus need to be consistently monitored. Current methods, however, rely on infrequent rating scales performed in clinic. The advent of wearable technologies presents a new avenue to track objective measures of PD comorbidities longitudinally and more frequently. This narrative review discusses and proposes emerging wearable technologies that can monitor manifestations of motor, cognitive, GI, and autonomic/sleep comorbidities throughout the daily lives of PD individuals. This can provide more wholistic insight into real-time physiological versus pathological function with the potential to better assess treatments during clinical trials and allow physicians to optimize treatment regimens. Additionally, this narrative review briefly examines novel applications of wearables as therapy for PD patients.

“…Moreover, heart rate variability (HRV), which is the fluctuation in the time intervals between adjacent heartbeats serves as a measure of vagal tone that is used to indicate the overall level of vagal activity 121,122 . Thus, since HRV is a measure of cardiovascular health and an indicator of vagal activity, improving cardiovascular health with the use of VNS may help with positive outcomes during treatment of cancer 57,123–125 …”

Cancer is globally a disease of significant public health concern owing to its prevalence, and association with morbidity and mortality. Thus, cost‐effective treatments for cancer are important to help reduce its significant morbidity and mortality. However, the current therapeutic options for cancer such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery may produce serious adverse events such as nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and peripheral neuropathy, especially in the long term. In addition, these therapeutic options may not be well tolerated by the elderly especially those who are frail. The current article is aimed at discussing an alternative therapeutic option, non‐invasive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), and the roles it plays in cancer pathology and immunotherapy. The VNS does this by reducing oxidative stress via silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1); inhibiting inflammation via both hypothalamic–pituitary–axis (HPA) and the release of corticosteroid from the adrenal gland, and cholinergic anti‐inflammatory pathway (CAP), and increasing vagal activity which helps in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and metabolism, and increase chance of survival. Furthermore, it helps with reducing complications due to cancer or its treatments such as postoperative ileus and severity of peripheral neuropathy induced by chemotherapy, and improves cancer‐related fatigue, lymphopenia, and quality of life. These suggest that the importance of non‐invasive VNS in cancer pathology and immunotherapy cannot be overemphasized. Therefore, considering the safety of non‐invasive VNS and its cost‐effectiveness, it is a therapeutic option worth trying for these patients, especially in combination with other therapies.
