The therapy technique of providing the status of one's own AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM function (e.g., skin temperature, heartbeats, brain waves) as visual or auditory feedback in order to self-control related conditions (e.g., hypertension, migraine headaches).

1.	Constipation 09/01/2003 - "CONCLUSION: Although most studies report positive results using biofeedback to treat constipation, quality research is lacking. " 02/01/2008 - "Conservative measures like high intake of fluids and fibers, laxatives, biofeedback and behavior modification therapy may be beneficial for treatment of constipation. " 01/01/2005 - "Biofeedback is beneficial for some children with chronic constipation and dyssynergic defecation. " 08/01/1997 - "Of the patients with constipation and pelvic floor dysfunction 80% experienced improvement with biofeedback without significant change in electromyographic values. " 04/03/1993 - "[Chronic constipation in children; good results of biofeedback training as supplementary therapy]" Order ALL the reference details at left...
2.	Pain (Aches) 07/15/2008 - "The participants with biofeedback had markedly improved status in visual analog pain scales, short form-36, and range of motion. " 03/01/1978 - "They will be important experimental and clinical adjuncts in determining the efficacy of non-pharmacological pain control methods such as regional electroanalgesia, biofeedback, relaxation-suggestion and hypnosis." 05/01/2010 - "In both groups physical mobility, pain scores of NHP improved significantly (p < 0.001) while in EMG-biofeedback group energy and sleep scores also improved after treatment (p < 0.05). " 03/01/2010 - "Successful treatment employing biofeedback can be beneficial for several stress-related and pain conditions, as well as other forms of somatic disturbance. " 12/01/2002 - "Similar chronic pain conditions have been treated successfully with biofeedback-assisted techniques of neuromuscular reeducation. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
3.	Fecal Incontinence 05/01/2001 - "CONCLUSION: Although most studies report positive results using biofeedback to treat fecal incontinence, quality research is lacking. " 10/01/1994 - "PURPOSE: Biofeedback therapy in fecal incontinence has been reported to improve continence in more than 70 percent of patients, but most studies have followed patients for less than two years. " 04/01/1994 - "Doctors have changed their attitudes, and the quality of life of the patient has improved dramatically, thus providing clinical signification, and proof of the validity and applicability of this treatment: using biofeedback without electronic equipment in the treatment of fecal incontinence." 12/01/2000 - "Anorectal biofeedback therapy is a very effective treatment for fecal incontinence. " 01/01/2004 - "This study reported significant short-term improvement in fecal incontinence with electromyographic biofeedback therapy using validated subjective and objective scoring systems. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
4.	Migraine Disorders (Migraine) 06/01/2005 - "PT is most effective for the treatment of migraine when combined with other treatments such as thermal biofeedback, relaxation training, and exercise. " 05/01/2005 - "Physical therapy is most effective for the treatment of migraine when combined with other treatments such as thermal biofeedback, relaxation training and exercise. " 05/01/1994 - "Rational-emotive therapy (RET) may prove beneficial as a complementary treatment to medication and biofeedback in the management of chronic migraine headache. " 04/01/1990 - "Biofeedback training for self-regulation of blood-volume pulse ("BVP") amplitude of the temporal arteries has been used previously with good results in treatment of migraine headaches. " 12/01/1979 - "With the exception of medication consumption (for which relaxation training led to better long-term results) the 1-year follow-up data reveal no differential efficacy for temperature biofeedback or progressive relaxation in treating migraine headaches."

5.	Headache (Headaches) 12/01/2007 - "CBT was highly effective, with an average reduction in headaches from pre- to posttreatment of 68%, compared with 56% for biofeedback, and 20% for the control condition. " 10/01/1996 - "We conclude that behavioural treatment strategies are effective in the management of childhood headaches, although most of the research support appears to be limited to relaxation training and biofeedback. " 07/01/1982 - "Biofeedback has proven effective in treatment of vascular and muscle contraction headache. " 01/01/2000 - "Results showed that both children and adults reported substantial improvements in headache activity with TBF and EMG biofeedback treatment (Ms ranged from 34% to 81%), but children showed significantly greater improvement than adults. " 03/01/1980 - "Although biofeedback and pseudotherapy were rated as equally credible treatments, only the headache activity of the biofeedback group was significantly improved following treatment.
