Brief Summary

The prevalence and incidence of end-stage renal disease in Taiwan ranks highest in the world, and it is based on the 2018 health welfare According to statistics from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, kidney disease is the ninth leading cause of death in Taiwan. As the course of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progresses, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, inflammation, and physical and psychological symptoms (such as fatigue, sleep disturbance, and depression) will increase, which will further damage the structure and function of the kidney Intensified, increasing the demand for dialysis treatment and the risk of cardiovascular disease, which consumes social and medical costs. If the investigators can intervene in a feasible measure to effectively regulate the autonomic nervous function of CKD patients, reduce inflammation and physical and psychological symptoms, and delay the progression of the disease, it will be the main goal of caring for CKD patients. To explore the intervention of heart rate variability biofeedback, which can improve the autonomic nervous function (heart rate variability \[Heart Rate Variability\]), inflammatory response (interleukin-6 \[Interleukin-6, IL-6\], C-reactive protein \[ C reaction protein, CRP\]) and physical and psychological symptoms (such as reducing fatigue, sleep disturbance and depression).

Interventions

Heart rate variability biological feedback training is carried out in the outpatient meeting room of the hospital, including once a week, 30 minutes of hospital training each time, using Medea physiological feedback device portable Bluetooth physiological signal Feedback system (Medical Device Input No. 027390). Designed as two stages, stage one (the first week) first teaches the subject how to perform abdominal breathing, and connects the physiological feedback device to monitor the patient's breathing and heart rate changes, and sets the breath per minute according to the subject's resonance frequency . Stage two (second-four weeks) guide the case to understand the resonance relationship between breathing and heart rate, and then achieve the effect of matching heart and breath. It is also equipped with a pressure relief device (Helico Inc., New York, NY, USA) for self-practice at home.
