Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of biofeedback in reducing depression levels compared to a control group receiving standard treatment.
- A randomized clinical trial involved 36 participants, with one group receiving biofeedback training and the other receiving conventional therapy, while outcomes were measured using various mental health assessment tools.
- Results indicated that those not receiving biofeedback were 16 times more likely to experience increased depression, suggesting biofeedback could be a valuable complementary treatment for moderate to severe depression and dysthymia.*
