Original publication

Recorded summary

Twenty-one Ukrainian forced migrants practised paced breathing. Stress and several physiological measures improved in a before–after comparison. The paper leaves live HRV display during practice unclear.

Recorded limitations

The authors describe live HRV feedback as a technique. Their procedure specifies resting HRV measurements before and after practice. They leave the participant’s access to a live display during the exercise unclear.
