Many childhood and adolescent stress-related symptoms have a psychophysiological component that involves muscular tension and/or autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Examples of this include recurrent headache, chest pain, abdominal pain, syncope, and dizziness. After a careful medical and psychosocial evaluation, the clinician may identify many patients who are appropriate for the application of stress reduction techniques such as progressive muscular relaxation, meditation, biofeedback, and relaxation/mental imagery (self-hypnosis). This review describes these techniques and their application with selected children and adolescents.
许多与儿童和青少年压力相关的症状都有一个心理生理成分，涉及肌肉紧张和/或自主神经系统功能障碍。这方面的例子包括反复头痛、胸痛、腹痛、晕厥和头晕。经过仔细的医学和社会心理评估后，临床医生可能会发现许多适合应用减压技术的患者，如渐进性肌肉松弛、冥想、生物反馈以及放松/心理意象（自我催眠）。这篇综述描述了这些技术及其在特定儿童和青少年中的应用。
