ABSTRACT Parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) activity has widespread research applications but poses measurement challenges due to its high sensitivity environmental conditions and immediate demands. While standardised methods exist for measuring PNS reactivity recovery in response stressors, the selection of appropriate baseline resting states is often overlooked. This commentary argues that a clearer conceptual distinction between baseline, construct comparing values, rest, psychophysiological state low arousal cognitive engagement, crucial data interpretation. includes need explicitly justifying relation goals validating rest conditions. By improving clarity rigour researchers can enhance interpretability measures, supporting integration findings across studies.

ABSTRACT Irritable bowel syndrome [IBS] is classified as a disorder of gut‐brain interaction related to stress with no curative option. Heart rate variability biofeedback [HRV‐BFB] non‐drug therapy recently suggested be relevant in reducing both autonomic nervous system [ANS] dysregulations and psychiatric comorbidities. Nevertheless, empirical evidence still scarce only few studies have tested HRV‐BFB adults IBS. Our aims were therefore examine the effectiveness training on psychophysiological states 29 The study took place three sessions, spaced 24 days apart. In all participants completed self‐report questionnaires assess their psychological state (affectivity, anxiety, depression, perceived stress, coping strategy, life satisfaction, illness cognitions), ANS measurements then recorded them at rest, during completion mental task (reactivity), while recovery following this task. first 24‐day period was control without any practice, second an intervention HRV‐BFB. Participants practiced daily for 5 min, times day, days. We found that reduced distress feeling helplessness, led decrease sympathetic reactivity findings support potential relevance manage health
