Overview

The principle of biofeedback is measuring the physiological state of the body, giving feedback to the person regarding their current state, and helping them modify these states for promoting effective functioning of their mind and body. Biofeedback monitors involuntary body responses such as perspiration and heart rate in order to help the person learn to control these responses which leads to improvement in the person’s physical and mental health.
There are various types of biofeedback depending on the different involuntary responses of the body that is being measured.
Heart rate variability. The sensors are placed on fingers or earlobes to measure the pulse and the heart rate variability. It helps treat symptoms of asthma, anxiety, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Thermal. This type of biofeedback measures temperature based on blood flow to the skin. The sensors are placed on the fingers or the feet. It helps treat headaches, anxiety disorders, or Raynaud’s disease.
Electromyogram (EMG). The sensors are placed on skeletal muscles to measure muscle tension. It helps treat anxiety disorders, back pain, or headaches.
Electroencephalography (EEG). This is also known as neurofeedback. Sensors are placed on the head and brain wave activity is measured. It is useful for treating ADHD and seizure disorders.
Electrodermal activity (EDA). Sensors are placed on fingers, palms or wrists, to measure sweat gland activity and perspiration amount on the skin. It is beneficial in treating chronic pain or anxiety disorders.
