Biofeedback (Addiction)

Use of a signal, such as muscle tension or brain slaves, to control a normally involuntary physiological process.

Biofeedback (Cancer)

A method of learning to voluntarily control certain body functions such as heartbeat, blood pressure, and muscle tension with the help of a special machine. This method can help control pain.

Biofeedback (Day Spa)

A process used to better understand human behavior in order to develop modification programs to promote well being. The process involves tracking physiological activities and habit patterns using electronic instruments, and recording the data in order to help people better understand their body and change any unwanted patterns.

Biofeedback (Health)

Therapeutic training in which participants learn to control their involuntary nervous system through response to electric stimuli

Biofeedback (Holistic)

technique used especially for stress-related conditions such as asthma, migraines, insomnia and high blood pressure. Biofeedback is a way of monitoring minute metabolic changes in ones body with the aid of sensitive machines.

Biofeedback (Massage)

Biofeedback utilizes a system of sensitive instruments that relay information about the physical condition of the body. Used as a primary therapy, or in conjunction with other methods, biofeedback provides deep relaxation and stress management skills to prevent stress-related disorders and illness. These skills, including deep breathing and guided imagery, offer self-regulation and control over mental, emotional, and physical processes. The principles of biofeedback can be traced back to the 18th century.

Biofeedback (Medical)

A technique used to gain control over a function that is normally automatic (such as blood pressure or pulse rate); the function is monitored and relaxation techniques are used to change it to a desired level

Biofeedback (Mental Health)

Biofeedback is learning to control muscle tension and "involuntary" body functioning, such as heart rate and skin temperature; it can be a path to mastering one's fears. It is used in combination with, or as an alternative to, medication to treat disorders such as anxiety, panic, and phobias.

Biofeedback (Nutrition)

A technique for helping an individual to become conscious of usually unconscious body processes, such as heartbeat or body temperature, so that he or she can gain some measure of control over them.

Biofeedback (Paranormal)

A general term for techniques that involve giving a person information about their current physiological state (e.g., heart rate, EEG). Biofeedback is used to enable people to control consciously their physiological processes.

Biofeedback (Problem Teenagers)

Biofeedback is a method of controlling bodily functions using electronic equipment to continuously monitor a physical response, such as breathing, and convert these measurements into signals that a person can read and understand.

Biofeedback (Psychotherapy)

A technique by which individuals can monitor their own physiological processes such as pulse, blood pressure, and brain waves with mechanical aid, in order to manage physical and/or psychological symptoms.

Biofeedback (Science)

A technique used to help people relax. In biofeedback, a person is connected to a machine that senses and records one or more of the bodily functions and feeds this information back to the person, who then tries to manipulate those bodily functions by conscious mental control

Biofeedback (Spa)

This technique teaches conscious control of biological processes - such as blood pressure, pulse rate, digestion and deep muscle tension - by monitoring physical responses. An electronic sensing device placed on the skin measures changes in skin surface temperature and chemistry that reflect internal physical changes. Biofeedbcak is used successfully by people who suffer from headaches, chronic pains and migraines.

Biofeedback (Urology)

A procedure that uses electrodes to help people gain awareness and control of their pelvic muscles.
