Claim — HRV Biofeedback Improves Emotion Regulation

2026 formulation

Fanti's keynotes state that HRV biofeedback improves emotion regulation.

Evidence mapped

Petridou's dissertation reports subgroup- and task-specific changes in SC reactivity and LF/HF following six-session HRV biofeedback with Zukor's Drive and interprets those physiological changes as improved emotion regulation.

Qualification

The direct endpoints are physiological rather than a broad distal clinical measure of emotion regulation. LF/HF also has important interpretive limitations.

Status

Supported at the physiological/mechanistic level; clinical breadth and durability remain open.
