Although biofeedback has been considered an effective treatment component for pediatric chronic pain, little research has examined the generalizability to activities outside of the treatment setting. The current study aimed to examine the effects of a biofeedback intervention involving individual and group sessions to facilitate increased self-regulatory skills for chronic pain management and to translate these skills to meaningful activities promoting functional restoration. Participants included 104 adolescents (ages 12-18) attending an intensive interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation program for chronic pain/symptoms and completed biofeedback training as part of the program. The biofeedback protocol consisted of six sessions, including an assessment of baseline physiologic states, diaphragmatic breath training, and various biofeedback screens to reinforce self-regulatory skills within individual- and group-based formats. As expected, patients showed significant reductions in respiration rates and muscle tension from admission to discharge. Ratings of perceived confidence also increased from admission to post-treatment, suggesting greater self-efficacy in patients using self-regulatory skills during their daily functional activities. An individual- and group-based biofeedback protocol with a focus on training skills in activities relevant to adolescents' lives has the potential to improve self-regulation skills and generalize these skills to real-world settings. Future randomized controlled trials are necessary to examine the efficacy of biofeedback interventions to improve physiologic regulation and enhance treatment outcomes for pediatric chronic pain.
虽然生物反馈已被认为是治疗小儿慢性疼痛的有效组成部分,但很少有研究探讨其在治疗环境之外的活动中的推广性。本研究旨在探讨涉及个体和小组会议的生物反馈干预措施的效果,以促进慢性疼痛管理的自我调节技能的提高,并将这些技能转化为促进功能恢复的有意义的活动。参与者包括 104 名(年龄在 12-18 岁之间)参加慢性疼痛/症状强化多学科疼痛康复计划的青少年,并作为该计划的一部分完成生物反馈培训。生物反馈方案包括六个疗程,包括评估基线生理状态、膈肌呼吸训练以及各种生物反馈屏幕,以强化个体和小组形式的自我调节技能。正如预期的那样,患者的呼吸频率和肌肉张力从入院到出院显著降低。从入院到治疗后,感知信心的评分也有所增加,这表明在日常功能活动中使用自我调节技能的患者自我效能感更高。以培训与青少年生活相关活动技能为重点的个体和小组生物反馈方案有可能改善自我调节技能,并将这些技能推广到现实世界环境中。未来有必要进行随机对照试验,以检验生物反馈干预措施改善生理调节和增强小儿慢性疼痛治疗效果的功效。
