目的：研究薰衣草精油足浴对自主神经系统的影响。设计：随机交叉对照研究。单位：日本长野护理学院。干预：年轻女性坐着，双脚在热水中浸泡10分钟，分别使用和不使用精油。观察指标：记录心电图、指尖血流量、呼吸频率，心率变异性频谱分析评价自主神经功能。结果：足浴没有引起心率和呼吸频率的变化，但现在产生了显著的血液增加。频谱分析显示，两种类型的足浴过程中，副交感神经活动均显著增加。在加入薰衣草精油的足浴中，自主神经活动平衡在与放松相关的方向上有延迟的变化。结论：热足浴和薰衣草油似乎与自主神经活动的微小但显著的变化有关。(C)2000 HarCourt出版有限公司。
Objectives:This study was designed to investigate the effect of foot-bath with or without the essential oil of lavender on the autonomic nervous system. Design: Randomized crossover controlled study. Setting: Nursing college, Nagano, Japan. Intervention:Young women sat with their feet soaked in hot water for 10 minutes with and without the essential oil. Outcome measures:An electrocardiogram, finger tip blood now and respiratory rate were recorded,Autonomic function was evaluated using spectral analysis of heart rate variability. Results:The foot-bath caused no changes in heart or respiratory rates, but produced a significant increase in blood now. Using spectral analysis, the parasympathetic nerve activity increased significantly during the both types of foot-bath. In the case of the foot-bath with the addition of essential oil of lavender, there were delayed changes to the balance of autonomic activity in the direction associated with relaxation. Conclusion:A hot foot-bath and oil of lavender appear to be associated with small but significant changes in autonomic activity. (C) 2000 Harcourt Publishers Ltd.
