What is Biofeedback Therapy?
Biofeedback therapy is a completely non-invasive procedure whereby an individual becomes aware of physiological functioning, such as heart rate, muscle tension, and activity within the brainwave, in real time.
Having this knowledge about the patient’s bodily responses, they can teach techniques to conscious regulation of the patient’s bodily responses that would help the patient to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and OCD.
Cadabam’s Hyderabad have now included biofeedback into the treatment plans for their OCD patients to give it a holistic approach to mental health.
The Science Behind Biofeedback
Biofeedback provides constant feedback regarding the involuntary bodily activities, such as heart rate, skin temperature, and brain activity.
This leads the patients to be able to continually monitor how their body reacts to the occurrence of stress and anxiety so that they may learn to manage those reactions effectively.
This awareness, over the long term, develops positive emotional regulation and decreases stress levels, and symptoms of OCD start to degrade. The consequence is that biofeedback is very useful as an adjunctive treatment for OCD.
Biofeedback vs. Traditional Therapies
Traditional treatments with CBT and medication have been successful for most. However, treatment for many of them fails to address the physiological responses that accompany OCD symptoms.
Biofeedback therapy thus addresses these physiological factors, too, making it a more holistic treatment approach towards OCD patients in the form of control over their own stress response.
Safety and Efficacy of Biofeedback
Biofeedback is a safe and non-invasive treatment with minimal side effects, thus ideal for individuals who wish to avoid medication or who are sensitive to pharmaceuticals.
Studies indicate that biofeedback decreases OCD symptoms by improving control over physiological responses, supports long-term improvements in mental health and well-being.
