The aim of this study is to demonstrate the effect of autogenic training (AT) upon the autonomic nervous system and hemodynamics. We practiced AT on 10 normal subjects, 10 patients with hypertension, and 10 patients with autonomic imbalance for a period of 2 to 6 months. Measurements were made of the concentration of blood catecholamine as an index of sympathetic nervous system activity, and the coefficient of variance (CV) as an index of parasympatheticnervous system activity, together with blood pressure and heart rate. The results were as follows : in the normal subjects, blood pressure and heart rate decreased in Stage I, and remained static untill Stage VI. The concentration of blood adrenaline was the minimum value in Stage II. There was no significant change in the concentration of blood noradrenaline and CV during all stages. In the hypertensive patients, however, the diastolic blood pressure and the concentration of blood adrenaline decreased progressively, and reached minimum value in Stage VI. From these obserbations, AT shoud be practiced from Stage I to Stage VI in the case of hypertension patients. The patients with autonomic imbalance showed dramatic psychological improvement, but no significant physiological effect was found whatsoever.
