Biofeedback:

This is a form of treatment that uses electronic feedback of hand temperature and/or muscle tension to rapidly teach patients how to deeply relax in which one can monitor how one functions on a physical and emotional level. Acquiring and regularly practicing these skills has been shown to reduce the frequency and severity of both migraine and tension-type headaches, also controlling many forms of pain.

Biofeedback is a method of learning to voluntarily and consciously control certain involuntary responses, body functions, such as heartbeat, brain waves, blood pressure, and muscle tension. Information about a normally unconscious physiologic process is relayed back to the patient as a visual, auditory, or tactile signal. These responses are electronically monitored and noted through beeps, graphs, or on a computer screen, which are seen or heard by the user/patient/client. This method can be helpful in controlling may types of pain and once learned becomes part of the individuals daily routine.
