Biofeedback

Biofeedback is a therapy that provides information about how physiological processes in the body can be negatively affected by chronic pain. A computerized instrument is used to measure and increase a patient's awareness of physiologic processes that are mainly involuntary (for example, heart rate and muscle tension). Biofeedback then aids the patient in learning how to increase control over these processes and strengthens the ability to maintain control during daily activities.
