This narrative review is aimed at presenting the galvanic skin response (GSR) Biofeedback method and possibilities for its application in persons with mental disorders as a modern form of neurorehabilitation. In the treatment of mental disorders of various backgrounds and courses, attention is focused on methods that would combine pharmacological treatment with therapies improving functioning. Currently, the focus is on neuronal mechanisms which, being physiological markers, offer opportunities for correction of existing deficits. One such indicator is electrodermal activity (EDA), providing information about emotions, cognitive processes, and behavior, and thus, about the function of various brain regions. Measurement of the galvanic skin response (GSR), both skin conductance level (SCL) and skin conductance responses (SCR), is used in diagnostics and treatment of mental disorders, and the training method itself, based on GSR Biofeedback, allows for modulation of the emotional state depending on needs occurring. Summary: It is relatively probable that neurorehabilitation based on GSR-BF is a method worth noticing, which-in the future-can represent an interesting area of rehabilitation supplementing a comprehensive treatment for people with mental disorders.
本文旨在介绍皮肤电反应(GSR)生物反馈方法及其在精神障碍患者中的应用可能性,将其作为一种现代神经康复形式。在治疗各种背景和病程的精神障碍时,人们关注的是将药物治疗与改善功能的治疗相结合的方法。目前,研究的重点是神经元机制,作为生理标志物,为纠正现有缺陷提供了机会。电皮肤活动(EDA)就是这样一个指标,它提供了有关情绪、认知过程和行为的信息,从而提供了关于各个大脑区域功能的信息。皮肤电反应(GSR)的测量,包括皮肤电导水平(SCL)和皮肤电导反应(SCR),用于精神障碍的诊断和治疗,而基于 GSR 生物反馈的训练方法本身可以根据需要调节情绪状态。总结:基于 GSR-BF 的神经康复是一种值得关注的方法,它在未来可能代表着一种有趣的康复领域,补充了针对精神障碍患者的综合治疗。
