Background.
We determined the extent to which heart rate variability (HRV) responses to daily physical activity differ between subjects with and without chronic neck pain.
Method.
Twenty-nine subjects (13 women) with chronic neck pain and 27 age- and gender-matched healthy controls participated.
Physical activity (accelerometry), HRV (heart rate monitor), and spatial location (Global Positioning System (GPS)) were recorded for 74 hours.
GPS data were combined with a diary to identify periods of work and of leisure at home and elsewhere.
Time- and frequency-domain HRV indices were calculated and stratified by period and activity type (lying/sitting, standing, or walking).
ANCOVAs with multiple adjustments were used to disclose possible group differences in HRV.
Results.
The pain group showed a reduced HRV response to physical activity compared with controls ( p = .001 ), according to the sympathetic-baroreceptor HRV index (LF/HF, ratio between low- and high-frequency power), even after adjustment for leisure time physical activity, work stress, sleep quality, mental health, and aerobic capacity ( p = .02 ).
The parasympathetic response to physical activity did not differ between groups.
Conclusions.
Relying on long-term monitoring of physical behavior and heart rate variability, we found an aberrant sympathetic-baroreceptor response to daily physical activity among subjects with chronic neck pain.
