Digital heart rate training for early psychosis
Part of Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a digital biofeedback program that helps you learn to control your heart rate variability, which may improve symptoms of psychosis. It is designed for people in the early years of psychosis who are stable but still have symptoms.
