It was created to find a cure for high blood pressure, which was then believed to be a result of mental health issues. Biofeedback Therapy attempts to find the cause of ailments by monitoring and measuring bodily functions such as heart rate, temperature, skin temperature, muscle tension, and pulse. Intending to be capable of manipulating the body parts of the body, biofeedback therapy offers a natural approach to improving overall physical health. Biofeedback can be used for more specific purposes, such as reducing stress and anxiety or even curing certain psychological conditions such as depression.

Hyperactivity disorder : ADHD and other ADD children are sometimes put on a regime of biofeedback therapy. ADHD is an attention deficit disorder characterized by a lack of concentration, hyperactivity, destructibility, impulsiveness, and irritability. These symptoms are caused by a chemical imbalance occurring within the brain. To treat this disorder, the brain’s neurotransmitters need to be balanced. The theory of biofeedback therapy is that by regulating these chemicals, the child will be able to focus better, pay attention, learn more efficiently and be less likely to exhibit behaviors that could get them into trouble. Biofeedback therapy for ADD is quite successful with most patients. Electroencephalography: One biofeedback therapy for ADHD is called electroencephalography or EFT and is done using electrical and mechanical devices such as biofeedback therapy and muscle tension monitoring. This biofeedback therapy for ADHD uses frequency electromagnetic waves to influence the brain’s electrical activity. The effects are not just seen in the patient’s brain but also in the muscles and the skin, as biofeedback measures the changes in skin temperature, muscle tension, and heart rate. Biofeedback can be done in the office setting or a home setting. The first biofeedback therapy for ADHD patients learned to control bodily processes by monitoring muscle tension. This taught the biofeedback therapist the benefits of regulating muscle tension to improve ADHD. Muscle tension is believed to directly affect ADHD symptoms such as 1/2

All of these processes and more can be achieved through biofeedback therapy. Another biofeedback therapy for ADHD patients is done with the help of EFT or electro-therapy. This treatment can be used with physical therapists to help the patient balance blood pressure and heart rate. Biofeedback teaches the biofeedback therapist how to control bodily processes such as heart rate, blood flow, and skin temperature. This treatment improves overall health as well as symptoms of ADHD. Helps in Chronic Pain : Some people believe that biofeedback may be helpful in the treatment of chronic pain conditions. Biofeedback may be beneficial in treating headaches, migraines, and chronic pain conditions. It is currently being studied in chronic pain to see if biofeedback may provide relief from chronic pain and improve the quality of life for patients. More research is needed to determine if biofeedback provides real medical benefits in treating diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. In the field of addiction treatment, biofeedback therapy can be helpful in the management of substance abuse and addiction. There is not enough evidence to suggest that biofeedback therapy is useful in the treatment of addiction. However, some experts do believe that it could be helpful in the reduction of drug relapse. Another use for biofeedback therapy is chronic fatigue syndrome. Researchers are also exploring other services for the techniques. 2/2
