Two groups (N = 26) of patients with chronic anxiety were compared in their response to different forms of relaxation therapy. One group received 16 sessions of frontalis EMG and the other 16 sessions of progressive relaxation. Although EMG feedback was much superior in reducing frontalis EMG activity this treatment was no more effective than progressive relaxation in reducing symptoms of anxiety. Few patients in each group showed more than marginal improvement.
对两组(每组N = 26)慢性焦虑症患者对不同形式放松疗法的反应进行了比较。一组接受了16次额肌肌电图治疗,另一组接受了16次渐进性放松治疗。尽管肌电图反馈在降低额肌肌电活动方面要优越得多,但这种治疗在减轻焦虑症状方面并不比渐进性放松更有效。每组中很少有患者表现出超过轻微改善的情况。
