Research Notes on Conditions Helped by Biofeedback
Biofeedback is a relaxation technique that is learned to allow an individual to control body processes and functions that are normally not under conscious control.1 Although home feedback units are available, patients must practice in a lab or under the supervision of a trained therapist.1 Patients with pain disorders such as migraines and fibromyalgia, as well as asthma, chronic constipation and irritable bowel syndrome have all shown success using biofeedback.2
Fast Facts:
- Raynaud's syndrome, hypertension, cardiac arrhythmia, diabetes, sleep disorders, anxiety disorders, carpal tunnel syndrome, TMJ, post traumatic stress disorder, rheumatoid arthritis and cancer patients have all shown improvements after undergoing biofeedback therapy.3
- Some clinics have had success treating seizure disorders, sexual dysfunction and mood disorders as well.4
- Although the technology is relatively new, insurance companies are beginning to pay for at least part of the costs of treatment.2
