We have just learned of a new clinical study with very relevant findings for and people suffering from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder).
A new peer-reviewed article published performed by Emory University clinicians and published in the American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory validated for the first time the beneficial effects of RESPeRATE therapy on Veterans with Post-traumatic stress disorder and pre-hypertension.
The study demonstrated that RESPeRATE not only lowered the blood pressure of these veterans but improved the Sympathetic Baroreflex Sensitivity (BRS) which is known to be impaired in patients with PTSD.
Thousands of veterans have already received RESPeRATE in elect VA medical centers where it’s available with clinician prescription. Enclosed below are few Veteran related Frequently Asked Questions. If you are a US veteran who has high blood pressure and would like to check if RESPeRATE is available at your VA Medical Center please email [email protected]

Will the VA cover the cost of a RESPeRATE device?
Yes. Your VA Medical Center will cover the cost of a RESPeRATE device where it is available.
How do I get the VA to cover the cost of the RESPeRATE Device?
First, you would need a letter from your VA Medical Center primary care physician or cardiologist stating the RESPeRATE will help you with your blood pressure.
After getting the letter you would need to speak to someone in the VA Medical Center who handles procurement and payment. They will require you to fill out the necessary forms. Be patient and persistent.
