Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Biofeedback is the process where a patient's physiological functioning is tracked and then the feedback is given to the patient in the form of a signal, which the patient then attempts to modify. This can help the patient learn to control bodily functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle tension, and can be used to treat a variety of conditions like anxiety, chronic pain, and headaches. Self-monitoring and virtual reality paradigms also involve tracking physiological functions, but they don't necessarily involve giving feedback to the patient to modify those functions. Obesity treatment is not directly related to monitoring physiological functions.
