| #1 | 12/5/2009 | The Use of Electromyographic Biofeedback for Training Pelvic Floor Musculature (Barbara Woolner) The core behavioral treatment of urinary incontinence is pelvic muscle re-education. Biofeedback "takes the guesswork out of pelvic muscle training" (reference NIDDK) because it enables the patient to improve pelvic muscle function through muscle awareness, which, when combined with a home exercise program, leads to increased muscle strength and improved coordination. |
| #2 | 11/7/2009 | The Use of EIectromyographic and Temperature Biofeedback for Treatment of Cramping and Burning Phantom Limb Pain (Richard A. Sherman) Phantom limb pain occurs among between 50 and 80 percent of amputees. For patients who describe burning/tingling phantom limb pain and have an essentially normal reactive vascular system, a trial of temperature biofeedback may provide relief. |
| #3 | 11/2/2009 | The use of EMG biofeedback for the treatment of chronic tension headache. (John G. Arena, Ph.D.) Headache is the most common pain complaint(11) and the most frequent medical problem seen in medical clinics(7). Most experts(3) believe that the majority of headaches are muscle tension-type. Although nearly all of the headache literature treats biofeedback and relaxation therapy as separate interventions, most clinicians combine both procedures when treating their tension headache patients. |
| #4 | 10/23/2009 | Oral Pharyngeal Dysphagia; Application of EMG Biofeedback in the Treatment of Oral Pharyngeal Dysphagia (Maggie Lee Huckabee) EMG biofeedback presents auditory and visual signals to aid the patient in learning and practicing dysphagia intervention exercise. Biofeedback provides several critical elements that are unavailable with standard dysphagia therapy. |
