Objectives
This study aimed to determine effects of lymphatic drainage therapy (LDT) on autonomic nervous system (ANS) responses by comparing including Hoffmann reflex (H reflex), heart rate variability (HRV), salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) and muscle tone (via straight leg raise (SLR)) in healthy participants. Methods A single blind randomized controlled trial evaluating sixty-six healthy participants including 58 females and 8 males aged between 40 and 65 years. All participants were blinded and randomized to either experimental group (EXP: LDT) or control group (CT: rest). LDT was applied to participants 45 min in experimental group. The LDT is light movement applied by an experienced physical therapist, starting from neck, deep abdomen, and along to the leg. While for the control group, participants received 45 min supine on the treatment table. Tests for evaluating ANS such as Hoffmann reflex (H reflex), heart rate variability (HRV), salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) and straight leg raise (SLR) were assessed at pre and post intervention. Results The findings demonstrated that H reflex decreased significantly after applying LDT; within and between groups (p Conclusion This study demonstrated that LDT decreased autonomic activity via decreased spinal reflex excitability and tension in healthy participants. |
