Anxiety management is one of the most important health issues which is being faced by humans today. Biofeedback, as a method of neurophysiology, has been added to the methods recommended for this purpose.
The aim of the study was to measure the effectiveness of biofeedback method by using Brain Boy Universal Professional in the treatment of anxiety disorders.
The sample of this research study consisted of 50 individuals, suffering from symptoms of anxiety, who underwent biofeedback therapy. For the purposes of this study, the self-administered questionnaire Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety was completed by the individuals both before the initiation of the therapy and after individuals had completed ten sessions of treatment with biofeedback.
Prior to biofeedback, 26% of the participants showed mild to moderate anxiety, 12% a medium severity of anxiety and the remaining 62% severe anxiety. After the completion of 10 sessions of biofeedback, 78% of the participants was found to experience mild to moderate anxiety, 12% a medium severity of anxiety and only 10% of severe anxiety.
Biofeedback can be a therapeutic method for the treatment of anxiety disorders, giving treatment to patients who do not respond to drugs but also to patients who want to apply to undergo such treatment alongside other therapeutic methods including drugs.
焦虑管理是当今人类面临的最重要的健康问题之一。生物反馈作为一种神经生理学方法，已被添加到为此目的推荐的方法中。
本研究的目的是通过使用Brain Boy Universal Professional来测量生物反馈方法在治疗焦虑症中的有效性。
本研究样本由50名患有焦虑症状的个体组成，他们接受了生物反馈疗法。为了本研究的目的，个体在治疗开始前和完成十次生物反馈治疗后均完成了自行填写的汉密尔顿焦虑量表问卷。
在进行生物反馈之前，26%的参与者表现出轻度至中度焦虑，12%为中度焦虑，其余62%为重度焦虑。完成10次生物反馈治疗后，发现78%的参与者经历轻度至中度焦虑，12%为中度焦虑，只有10%为重度焦虑。
生物反馈可以作为治疗焦虑症的一种治疗方法，不仅可以治疗对药物无反应的患者，还可以治疗希望与包括药物在内的其他治疗方法一起接受这种治疗的患者。
