Sympathetic skin response and R–R interval variation in the assessment of clinical remission of bipolar disorder

For our retrospective study, we chose patients who met the inclusion criteria for bipolar disorder (BD) according to the ICD-10. We conducted correlation analyses between scale scores and SSR and RRIV values before and after 1 year ±1 month of treatment. Our results suggest that the feet SSR latency and R% can be used as an indicator of clinical BD remission. The scales have high sensitivity and low specificity in assessing BD remission.
