Circadian Rhythm Analysis

Meaning

Circadian Rhythm Analysis is the systematic clinical assessment of the body’s intrinsic 24-hour biological clock, which governs numerous physiological and behavioral processes. This diagnostic procedure evaluates the temporal patterns of hormone secretion, core body temperature fluctuations, and the sleep-wake cycle. The analysis identifies deviations from an optimal, synchronized rhythm, which are often implicated in metabolic dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and hormonal imbalance.
