Most of the research on biofeedback induced peripheral temperature control is open to serious methodological and theoretical criticisms. In the present research investigation, increase in peripheral (finger) temperature was targeted because of the possible therapeutic implications for the treatment of migraine and Raynaud's disease. Two experiments are reported in which the pretest-posttest control group design was employed to test the power of the variables in biofeedback induced self-control of finger temperature, and the necessity for subjects to engage in somatic manoeuvres. Significant increases in within-session and absolute finger temperature occurred in a test for self-control only for those subjects who had undergoing contingent feedback-somatic activity training conditions. It is suggested that future research should examine the role of mediational strategies in biofeedback-temperature training.
大多数关于生物反馈诱导外周温度控制的研究都面临着严重的方法学和理论批评。在本研究调查中，由于对偏头痛和雷诺氏病治疗可能具有的治疗意义，将外周（手指）温度的升高作为目标。本文报告了两项实验，其中采用前测-后测对照组设计来测试生物反馈诱导的手指温度自我控制中变量的作用，以及受试者进行躯体动作的必要性。仅在那些接受了偶然反馈-躯体活动训练条件的受试者的自我控制测试中，会话期间和绝对手指温度出现了显著升高。建议未来的研究应考察中介策略在生物反馈-温度训练中的作用。
