The current evidence base for mind–body interventions in the treatment of pediatric IBD is reviewed, a case study is illustrated, and suggestions for future research for this promising field are offered.
Abstract
Pediatric inflammatory bowel disease is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal mucosa. There is emerging evidence that the brain-gut connection affects inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients more than previously thought. This is evidenced by comorbid mood disorders, irritable bowel symptoms concurrent with quiescent IBD, and the potential of psychosocial stressors to trigger IBD flares. Mind-body interventions such as psychotherapy, relaxation, mindfulness, biofeedback, yoga, and clinical hypnosis offer an adjunct to standard medical treatment for IBD. We will review the current evidence base for these mind- body interventions in the treatment of pediatric IBD, illustrate a case study, and offer suggestions for future research for this promising field.

Power spectral analysis of heart rate and arterial pressure variabilities as a marker of sympatho-vagal interaction in man and conscious dog.

TL;DR: The spontaneous beat-to-beat oscillation in R-R interval during control recumbent position, 90° upright tilt, controlled respiration and acute and chronic β-adrenergic receptor blockade was analyzed, indicating that sympathetic nerves to the heart are instrumental in the genesis of low-frequency oscillations in R -R interval.

Development of the Patient Activation Measure (PAM): Conceptualizing and Measuring Activation in Patients and Consumers

TL;DR: The Patient Activation Measure is a valid, highly reliable, unidimensional, probabilistic Guttman-like scale that reflects a developmental model of activation that has good psychometric properties indicating that it can be used at the individual patient level to tailor intervention and assess changes.
