Lowered Parasympathetic Activity in Apparently Healthy Subjects with Self‐Reported Symptoms of Pain: Preliminary Results from a Pilot Study

The aim was to evaluate differences in the autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity, indexed by heart rate variability (HRV) in apparently healthy subjects with self‐reported symptoms of pain (SRSP) within an exploratory analysis.
