Programs that offer training that is designed to develop an individual's ability to control some of the functions of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. After learning the technique, the person may be able to control heart rate, blood pressure and skin temperature, and relax targeted muscles to ameliorate migraine or tension headaches, cardiac arrhythmia, muscle spasms, hypertension or other conditions in which stress or tension play a significant role. The most common forms of biofeedback therapy are electromyography (EMG) biofeedback which measures muscle tension, thermal biofeedback which measures skin temperature, galvanic skin response biofeedback which measures sweat gland activity and neurofeedback or electroencephalography (EEG) which measures brain wave activity.
