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 - "Although most studies report positive results using biofeedback to treat constipation, quality research is lacking. " 01/01/2015 - "There was significant improvement in constipation-related symptoms after adaptive biofeedback. " 10/01/2014 - "The symptoms of constipation (sensation of incomplete evacuation, difficult and painful defecation), defecation facilitative manual maneuver frequency, pelvic floor muscles resting amplitude and strain amplitude decreased and squeezing amplitude improved significantly after biofeedback therapy in both groups with and without IBS (P < 0.001). " 09/01/2011 - "After biofeedback there was significant improvement in Wexner Constipation (12 (5-19) pretreatment vs 8 (4-14) posttreatment, P = .001), Wexner Incontinence (12 (3-15) pretreatment vs 4 (2-10) posttreatment, P < .001) and hospital depression scores (7 (3-11) pretreatment vs 5 (3-10) posttreatment, P = .015). " 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. "
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." 07/01/2011 - "Biofeedback is beneficial in the subset of patients with functional anorectal pain and difficulty with defecation. " 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. "
3.	Fecal Incontinence 05/01/2001 - "Although most studies report positive results using biofeedback to treat fecal incontinence, quality research is lacking. " 10/01/1994 - "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. "
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. " 07/01/2015 - "The considerable evidence base addressing behavioral interventions amassed since 1969 has conclusively established the efficacy of therapies featuring combinations of relaxation, biofeedback, and stress management training, and demonstrated they are capable of yielding benefits on par with pharmacological therapies for migraine. "
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.
