Research Topics: Sensitivity to cold Body temperature Pulse wave electro-cardiogram Autonomic nervous function

comment: From the perspective of a nurse, I am researching ways to improve sensitivity to cold. Sensitivity to cold is a painful condition that affects a wide range of ages, both men and women, young and old, in their daily lives. I am researching ways to improve sensitivity to cold using information on autonomic nervous function obtained from electrocardiograms, pulse waves, and thermography.
