The purpose of this study was to examine the relative effectiveness of electromyographic biofeedback training (EMG BFT), meditation, and progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) in eliciting a relaxation or trophotropic response as measured by frontalis muscle tension, heart rate, electrodermal response, respiration rate, and skin temperature. Fifty-four college students were randomly assigned to one of five groups: (1) control, (2) placebo control, (3) EMG BFT, (4) meditation, (5) PMR. After baseline measures were obtained subjects were trained in 10 30-minute training sessions and posttested. Comparisons by ANOVAs indicated there was a significant decrease in muscle tension in the EMG BFT and meditation groups and significant decreases in respiration rate in the meditation and PMR groups. No other changes were attributed to treatment.
本研究的目的是通过额肌张力、心率、皮肤电反应、呼吸频率和皮肤温度来检测肌电图生物反馈训练(EMG BFT)、冥想和渐进性肌肉松弛(PMR)在引发放松或促营养反应方面的相对有效性。54名大学生被随机分配到五个组之一:(1)对照组,(2)安慰剂对照组,(3)EMG BFT组,(4)冥想组,(5)PMR组。在获得基线测量值后,受试者接受10次30分钟的训练课程并进行后测。方差分析表明,EMG BFT组和冥想组的肌肉张力显著降低,冥想组和PMR组的呼吸频率显著降低。没有其他变化归因于治疗。
