Questions of clinical efficacy are becoming more prominent in this era of diminishing funds for research and clinical care, and new treatment procedures, in particular, are being rigorously scrutinized. This presents a challenge for the relatively recent field of biofeedback and applied psychophysiology. This field has a strong scientific orientation and a rapidly expanding research base, which includes many well-controlled clinical outcome studies. The point is raised, and illustrated with data from current clinical outcome studies, that it is time for a shift in emphasis away from simply piling study upon study and toward more thoughtful interpretation of experimental and clinical findings and the development of a clearer conceptual framework for biofeedback therapy and research.
在这个研究和临床护理资金日益减少的时代，临床疗效问题变得愈发突出，尤其是新的治疗方法正在受到严格审查。这给相对较新的生物反馈和应用心理生理学领域带来了挑战。该领域具有强大的科学导向和迅速扩大的研究基础，其中包括许多严格控制的临床结果研究。有人提出，并且用当前临床结果研究的数据加以说明，现在是时候将重点从仅仅进行一项又一项的研究，转向更深入地解释实验和临床发现，并为生物反馈疗法和研究建立更清晰的概念框架了。
