[Instrumental autogenic training of the mechanisms of regulation of the cardiovascular system functions in the treatment of patients with neuroses].

It is advisable that in the treatment of neurotic patients with marked vegetovascular manifestations, instrumental autotraining may be employed. It includes biomonitoring with pulse rate feedback according to the alternating sinusoidal law. The procedure of the autotraining is described in detail. 10 to 13 sessions of the autotraining given to such patients undergoing hospital treatment that also included routine therapy considerably improved the treatment results. The autotraining can thus be considered as a kind of the training of the mechanisms responsible for vegetative function regulation.
