Autonomic Recalibration

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Chronic Pain (Back / Neck), Autonomic Dysregulation

In brief

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Autonomic Recalibration works to reduce sympathetic dominance to alleviate dysfunctional myofascial pain. The main questions it aims to answer are: How is the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) affected during Autonomic Recalibration Treatment (ART)? How are myofascial tissue properties impacted from ART? Participants will: Have 2 treatments of ART on consecutive days. Wear sensors to track HRV (heart rate variability) and GSR to verify autonomic recalibration. Measure changes in range of motion by wearing a Rokoko motion capture suit. Measure changes in muscle stiffness through shear wave elastography.
