Research Article: Modulation of Pain Sensitivity by a Hyperventilatory Breathing Exercise and Cold Exposure Training

Date Published: 2023-06-13

Abstract:
Healthy volunteers who followed a training program comprising two different breathing exercises, cold exposure training, and meditation are able to activate their sympathetic nervous system voluntarily, reflected by high epinephrine levels. This results in attenuation of the inflammatory response during experimental endotoxemia, a standardized in vivo model of systemic inflammation induced by intravenous administration of bacterial endotoxin. A recent detailed analysis of the different components in this training program revealed that the combination of cold exposure with one of the breathing exercises is responsible for these effects. This training program, or elements of it, could translate into a novel treatment modality for patients with inflammatory conditions.
