In this prospective, primarily pre-post study, patients received three ATS treatments in alternation with three control sessions (casual talking with the therapist). In order to perform HRV-analysis and BRS determination blood pressure and ECG were continuously recorded during the sessions. Changes in subjective well-being and perceived health were assessed by questionnaire before and after the various sessions (mood questionaire).
Thirty-one patients participated in this study, the majority diagnosed with arterial hypertension (22 out of 31).
