To highlight the relationship among compression therapy (CT), the autonomic nervous system (ANS) (parasympathetic and sympathetic system), and the heart rate variability (HRV) analysis.
Background
Beyond the typical analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of CT in patients affected by venous and/or lymphatic diseases, some literature about CT influence on wellbeing has been published as well. More specifically, CT influence on the ANS has been elucidated mostly through HRV application, providing useful quali-quantitative data for scientific and clinical purposes.
Material and Methods
A literature search was performed through several web-based search engines to investigate the available evidence concerning the possible influence of CT on the ANS and on psychoneuroendocrineimmunology. Moreover, we examined literature data regarding HRV use in the assessment of CT. Lastly, a preliminary cross-over study was performed on 10 patients affected by phlebolymphedema of the lower limbs, undergoing CT with 18–21 mmHg stockings for 10 h and investigated by means of HRV.
Results
A CT-based increase of the anti-inflammatory activity of the parasympathetic (vagal) system has been elucidated in most scientific literature. Similarly, CT application has generally resulted in an improvement of HRV, which indicates a beneficial influence on the ANS. In our preliminary experience with compression stockings and HRV, two parasympathetic-based parameters improved by 22.8% and 68.0% after 10 h, whereas they decreased in the same subjects without stockings by 2.7% and 8.2%, during normal breathing. The remaining HRV parameters did not show relevant variations, especially during diaphragmatic breathing.
Conclusions
From literature data and based on our very preliminary experience, it is possible to deduce that CT exerts different effects on the psychobiological parameters of the individual, overall improving HRV and parasympathetic activity. Incorporating both HRV/ANS assessment in phlebolymphology and the beneficial neural action of CT in health care may represent viable options in the future biomedical science.
