A 44-year-old female cancer patient was given progressive muscle relaxation training and multiple muscle-site EMG biofeedback to reduce the conditioned negative responses she had apparently developed to her chemotherapy treatments. Following three baseline chemotherapy sessions, the patient was given relaxation training and biofeedback during four consecutive chemotherapy treatments and was asked to practice her relaxation skills daily in the hospital or at home. After the patient felt able to relax on her own, relaxation training and biofeedback were terminated and three follow-up sessions were held. Results indicated that during the chemotherapy sessions in which the patient received relaxation training and biofeedback, she showed reductions in physiological arousal (EMG, pulse rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure) and reported feeling less anxious and nauseated. Moreover, these changes were maintained during the follow-up sessions. These results suggest that relaxation training plus multiple muscle-site biofeedback may be an effective adjunctive procedure for reducing some of the adverse side effects of cancer chemotherapy.
一名44岁的女性癌症患者接受了渐进性肌肉放松训练和多肌肉部位肌电图生物反馈治疗，以减少她显然已对化疗产生的条件性负面反应。在进行了三次基线化疗疗程后，患者在连续四次化疗治疗期间接受了放松训练和生物反馈，并被要求每天在医院或家中练习放松技巧。在患者感觉能够自行放松后，放松训练和生物反馈终止，并进行了三次随访疗程。结果表明，在患者接受放松训练和生物反馈的化疗疗程中，她的生理唤醒水平（肌电图、脉搏率、收缩压和舒张压）有所降低，并报告焦虑和恶心感减轻。此外，这些变化在随访疗程中得以维持。这些结果表明，放松训练加多肌肉部位生物反馈可能是减轻癌症化疗一些不良副作用的有效辅助方法。
