This is a sensitive quantitative measurement of the body’s experience of pain, stress, several co-morbidities, as well as potential imbalances in the Autonomic Nervous System. When used as a monitoring tool, i.e. before and after changes in medications or other treatments, HRV can act as a quantitative indicator of pain level change, improvement in overall health and measure compliance to treatment.

This is useful for monitoring patients BEFORE they are symptomatic of nervous system dysfunction, as the test will identify subtle abnormalities before the patient recognizes or reports physical symptoms. Early detection allows for early intervention and enables a significantly better outcome.

This has long been the gold standard non-invasive test for arterial elasticity. The results will support system-wide inflammation due to an elevated PSI. Physicians in Pain Management, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Internal Medicine or Geriatrics may be the only physician that the patient sees regularly and therefore is their primary source for most diagnostic testing. Many patients may not have exposure or access to such life-saving testing if not for their specialty physician.
