A 40-year-old white woman who for 15 years had had Raynaud's disease--a vascular disorder characterized by poor blood circulation and coldness in the extremities--was treated with temperature biofeedback. In treatment sessions over a 13-month period she was provided with continuous, moment-to-moment information about the rise and fall of fingertip temperature. Gradually she was able to learn to raise her peripheral temperature and to gain some volitional control over a highly complex physiologic response.
一名40岁的白人女性,患有雷诺氏病15年——这是一种血管疾病,其特征是血液循环不良和四肢发冷——接受了温度生物反馈治疗。在为期13个月的治疗过程中,她获得了关于指尖温度升降的持续、即时信息。渐渐地,她能够学会提高外周温度,并对一种高度复杂的生理反应获得一定的自主控制。
