HFN in CVS
Brief Summary:
Cyclic vomiting syndrome CVS is a chronic disorder of gut-brain interaction DGBI characterized by episodes of vomiting often triggered by stress CVS affects 2 of the population and has a disproportionate negative impact on patients and the healthcare system Although gastrointestinal symptoms are prominent most patients have comorbid anxiety depression high degrees of psychological distress and other negative cognitive traits that adversely affect health-related quality of life HRQoL This is independent of typical measures of severity of CVS and warrants treatment Recent guidelines recommend a biopsychosocial model of care incorporating techniques like meditation to mitigate stress and improve psychological outcomes in CVS One potential approach to improve these outcomes is the use of heartfulness HFN meditation
Heartfulness meditation is a secular specific guided meditation technique that includes progressive relaxation with a concentrated focus on the heart It is offered virtually and is free-of charge ensuring no barriers to broad application in clinical practice A pilot study incorporating HFN meditation in CVS significantly reduced psychological distress perceived stress and improved coping strategies sleep quality and HRQoL Other data also show that HFN meditation improves overall well-being and reduces perceived stress However there are significant gaps in our understanding of the mechanism underlying HFN meditation and its effects on patient outcomes
