“…Usally a main goal of biofeedback training is the generalization of skills, but given the short time planned to address this specific situation and from other similar experiences reported in the literature. 13 Burton et al, 21 even also with a single one BF session, 10 we wanted to test this brief training in an exploratory manner.…”

“…In fact, biofeedback affects resonance and oscillations of different feedback loops in the central nervous system 6 and when it is delivered together with relaxation therapy or autogenic training seems to be effective in reducing the frequency of pain episodes in the pediatric age. 7 Several Biofeedback-Assisted Relaxation Training programs (BART) have been applied in a wide range of pediatric conditions, including Headache, 8 Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Functional Abdominal Pain, 9 pain in Sickle Cell Disease, 10 Burn Jnjury, 11 and also for face with anxiety and stress-related medical conditions to learn to relax by the control of physiological reactivity. 12 However, to date, little research exists about the use of Biofeedback-based treatments for children with cancer related pain.…”

Background: Management of cancer pain associated with anxiety derived is complex, especial in adolescent age when the ability to have body control gains a really central role.This case report aims to provide health professionals with insight into how patients' awareness of physiological processes -improved by means of an individualized Biofeedback-Assisted Relaxation Training (BART) protocol along 4 weeks of treatment -can modify patients' perception of pain. Results from this case report suggest the opportunity for further development of a multidimensional clinicalreasoning framework to treat cancer pain in pediatric involving also biofeedback treatment.

“…Any interventions that alleviate pain and decrease analgesics use are well received by patients. Biofeedback, yoga, guided imagery, virtual reality, massage therapy, acupuncture show promising results in reducing the pain in this population [15][16][17][18][19][20]. These techniques may be used alone or in combination with conventional treatments.…”

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is one of the most common hematologic disorders in the world. In the United States, it is the single most common genetic hematologic disorder. The burden of SCD and its complications on pediatric patients is tremendous, especially acute vaso-occlusive pain crises. Although allopathic medicine has provided numerous pain medications to treat this, they do not come without side effects and are not always effective. This review explores complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) methods of pain management available for pediatric SCD patients. A PubMed literature search was conducted, and the reference lists of shortlisted studies and review articles were screened after application of the exclusion criteria; 14 articles were used in this literature analysis. A wide range of CAM therapies exist. Common ones include praying, spirituality, and massage. Factors associated with CAM use are parental use of CAM, gender, SCD/pain severity, patient’s age, caregiver’s education level, and in some cases, financial means to access CAM methods. CAM has shown to be effective in reducing pain, patients’ depression and anxiety, analgesic use, and in increasing daily functioning. Thus, CAM has demonstrated potential in reducing pain and improving the quality of life of pediatric SCD patients. It holds great promise to be regularly encouraged by providers and employed by patients. Further research is needed on a larger scale to better study its efficacy; however, CAM use has repeatedly been associated with improved functioning and pain control.

The present study piloted a brief, single-session behavioral intervention to prevent stress-related illnesses in college students. Participants were recruited at a large public university ( N = 213). A total of 132 participants completed in-person research sessions and were randomly assigned to one of three conditions (two control and one intervention), and another 81 participants completed measures online (online control) without any face-to-face contact. The intervention consisted of brief, one-on-one diaphragmatic breathing training, delivered by trained research assistants. Data were collected at baseline and 2-week follow-up. Participants receiving the intervention provided positive ratings of intervention acceptability and reported utilizing diaphragmatic breathing during the 2-week period. They also reported significant improvements in perceived stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. When compared with the control conditions, however, the Intervention condition produced superior improvement in depressive symptoms only. Results suggest that diaphragmatic breathing training can be offered by trained peers to college students to help reduce stress-related symptoms.
