Outline of Final Research Achievements

The activity of the autonomic nervous system changes with the phase of respiration, and parasympathetic nerve activity is enhanced in the expiration phase. We developed equipment to perform vibration stimulation and brush stimulation of the skin surface. The purpose of this study was to determine autonomic nervous response by skin stimulation synchronized with the expiration phase of respiration. Seven healthy men participated in three experiments. Electrocardiography, instantaneous heart rate, skin blood flow and anteflexion in standing were measured. Autonomic nervous response was quantified using the heart rate variability power spectrum. Brush stimulation caused a significant decrease in heart rate and a significant increase in the low-frequency (0.04~0.15 Hz) component of the power spectrum and in anteflexion in standing. The brush stimulation of the skin surface increased parasympathetic nerve activity.
