Abstract
Background and methods
Little is known about self-induced cognitive trance (SICT) on respiratory function. The aims of this prospective, single-center, non-randomized, open-label study of healthy volunteers, were to characterize spirometry changes during SICT, confirm the safety of this technique, and investigate the potential clinical benefits of SICT.
Results
Nine people participated. There were no significant difference in FEV1 FVC or FEF 25–75 before, during, and after SICT. There were significant improvements in grip strength during SICT (+2.2 kg/5.7 %, p<0.05) and in self-efficacy score related to physical activity at the end of the trance. One participant had a significant worsening of FEV1 during SICT in the context of a recent upper airway infection.
Conclusion
SICT does not significantly modify spirometry data in healthy volunteers and can improve self-efficacy related to physical activity. SICT should probably be performed with caution during upper airway infections.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
