Heart Rate Variability Monitoring during Interferential Current Application in the Lower Back Area: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Vasovagal reactions may occur occasionally during electrical stimulation using interferential current (IFC). The purpose of this study was to examine variations in autonomic activity during the application of IFC in asymptomatic participants by analysis of their heart rate variability (HRV). Seventy-three male volunteers were randomly assigned to a placebo group ( = 36; HRV was documented for 10 min, both at rest and during a placebo intervention) and an intervention group ( = 37; HRV was documented for 10 min in two conditions labelled as (1) rest and (2) application of IFC technique on the lumbar segment).
