Official Title: Autonomic Responses During the Valsalva Maneuver and Deep Breathing Test Depend on the Experimental Setup

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of procedural differences during the Valsalva maneuver and deep breathing test in autonomic nervous system testing.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Danish Pain Research Center

Current Primary Outcome:

  • Blood pressure changes to cardiovascular adrenergic activation [ Time Frame: 3 hours ]
  • Heart rate changes to parasympathetic activation [ Time Frame: 3 hours ]


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Expiratory pressure during the Valsalva maneuver [ Time Frame: 3 hours ]
  • Expiratory duration during the Valsalva maneuver [ Time Frame: 3 hours ]
  • Air volume exchanged per respiratory cycle during deep respiration [ Time Frame: 3 hours ]


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
