Baseline heart rate variability predicts placebo hypoalgesia in men, but not women

IntroductionPlacebo hypoalgesic effects vary greatly across individuals, making them challenging to control for in clinical trials and difficult to use in treatment. We investigated the potential of resting vagally-mediated heart rate variability (vmHRV) to help predict the magnitude of placebo resp...
