What is Biofeedback?

• We perform a lot of voluntary daily activities
  such as raising your hand to wave to a friend or
  lifting your knee to take another step. But, some
  functions such as heart rate, skin temperature,
  and blood pressure are controlled involuntarily
  by your nervous system. The fight or flight
  response includes the nervous system, including
  the sympathetic nervous system that is
  responsible for adrenaline secretion. The
  response is the result of severe stress that
  would be activated by a stressor like a pain
  flare-up. In response to the stress, the nervous
  system increases sympathetic activity, including
  increased heart rate, sweating, and muscular
  strength, which prepares you to face or avoid the
  pain.
• One technique that can help you gain more control
  over certain involuntary functions is known as
  biofeedback. This therapy helps in preventing or
  treating various medical conditions, including
  migraine headaches, chronic pain, incontinence,
  and high blood pressure. Biofeedback focuses on
  harnessing the power of your mind and making you
  aware of what's going on inside your body. This
  would help you can gain more control over your
  health and reduce pain.

How Does Biofeedback Therapy Work?

• Biofeedback promotes relaxation that would
  relieve several conditions related to stress.
• The healthcare provider would attach electrodes
  to your skin and sensors to your fingers, during
  a biofeedback session. These electrodes and
  sensors send signals to a monitor, which displays
  a sound, flash of light, or image representing
  your heart and breathing rate, blood pressure,
  skin temperature, sweating, or muscle activity.
• Under stress it is observed that these functions
  change such as a change in heart rate, tightening
  of muscles, increase in blood pressure, sweating,
  and increased breathing. These stress responses
  are recorded on the monitor, and then get
  immediate feedback as you try to stop them.

What are Different Types of Biofeedback?

• Different types of tests are used to monitor
  different body functions
•    Electromyogram (EMG) This test helps measure
  muscle activity and tension that helps in
  treating back pain, headaches, anxiety disorders,
  muscle retraining after injury, and incontinence.
•    Thermal This test helps measure skin
  temperature, which is used for headaches and
  Raynaud's disease.
•    Electroencephalography (EEG) This test helps
  measure brain waves that may be used for
  attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),
  epilepsy, and other seizure disorders.
•    Electrodermal activity (EDA) This test
  provides details about sweating that is helpful
  for pain and anxiety
•    Heart rate variability (HRA) This test helps
  measure heart rate that may be used for anxiety,
  asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
  (COPD), and irregular heartbeat.
