This is a technique where people are taught to consciously trigger the relaxation response and control involuntary stress responses from their autonomic nervous system. Through the use of electronic feedback (as Tread Mill attached with Biofeedback gadgets) measuring hand temperature and muscle tension; heartbeats and pulse rate et al. patients learn to monitor their physiological arousal levels and physically relax their bodies, actually changing their heart rate, brain waves, muscle contractions and more. Feedback is presented through beeps, graphs or a computer screen that can be seen and heart by the participant.
Though this is a very reliable method, it is very expensive, as we need to install these sophisticated gadgets at our home there is need of huge sum of money an time an effort on the part of the practitioner.
