中文摘要：

心率变异性是反映自主神经系统活性和定量评估交感神经与迷走神经张力及其平衡性的客观指标。目前国内外对针灸调节心率变异性进行了大量研究,其中多数研究认为针灸可以兴奋迷走神经,抑制交感神经,从而增强自主神经的整合功能。在今后的研究中,应从病种选择、对照设置、长时程评价等方面加以研究,以更加全面、客观地评价针刺对心率变异性的调节作用。

英文摘要：

Heart rate variability is an objective indicator which reflects the autonomic nervous system activity and quantitative evaluation of sympathetic and vagal tone and its balance. Recently,a large number of HRV regulation of acupuncture conducted extensive researches are carried out at home and abroad,and most studies suggest that acupuncture could induce vagus nerve activation and sympathetic inhibition,thereby enhancing the integration of autonomic function. In future studies,the response to disease selection,control settings,and other aspects of long-duration evaluation should be improved with a more comprehensive and objective evaluation of acupuncture on the regulation of HRV.
