Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of biofeedback therapy in the rehabilitation of limb motor dysfunction after stroke and the factors influencing disease-related shame.

Methods: Medical records of 118 patients with limb motor dysfunction after stroke, treated in 521 Hospital of the Norinco Group from October 2019 to November 2022, were collected. The 56 patients in control group received conventional rehabilitation training, while the other 62 patients in observation group received electromyographic biofeedback therapy in addition to conventional treatment. The therapeutic effects of both groups were evaluated and compared after 4 weeks of treatment. Changes in FMA (Fugl-Meyer Motor Function Assessment Scale), mRS (Modified Rankin Scale), ADL (Activities of Daily Living Scale), and SSS (Stroke Stigma Scale) were compared before and after treatment. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors influencing disease-related shame after treatment. The effectiveness of risk factors in predicting disease-related shame was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.

Results: Upon intervention, significant gains were noted in FMA and ADL scores, with reductions in mRS and SSS (P<0.0001). After 4 weeks, the observation group showed higher FMA and ADL scores and lower mRS and SSS (P<0.0001 for FMA and ADL; P<0.05 for mRS and SSS). Logistic regression identified age ≥60 (OR 8.045, P<0.001), income <4000 yuan (OR 0.187, P=0.002), and pretreatment ADL (OR 0.047, P<0.001) as predictors of disease-related shame. The AUC for age, household monthly income, and pretreatment ADL score were 0.595 (P=0.089), 0.608 (P=0.053), and 0.750 (P<0.001), respectively, demonstrating pretreatment ADL score as the most accurate predictor of disease-related shame.

Conclusions: Electromyographic biofeedback therapy has a significant effect on the rehabilitation of stroke patients, especially on motor recovery and activities of daily living. Age, monthly family income and pre-treatment ADL scores are key factors influencing disease-related shame.

The role of autonomic nervous system (ANS) modulation in chronic neck pain remains elusive. Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (t-VNS) provides a novel, non-invasive means of potentially mitigating chronic neck pain. This study aimed to assess the effects of ANS modulation on heart rate variability (HRV), pain perception, and neck disability.

Introduction: Defecatory disorders are common affecting up to 8% of the population. Rome IV diagnostic criteria are used to define this condition and therefore select patients for the gold standard therapy, anorectal biofeedback. The aim of this study was to test the current Rome IV FDD criteria in a real-world population by utilizing the response to biofeedback as a validation tool.

Division of Pain Medicine, Department of Anesthesiology, Mayo Clinic Arizona, Phoenix, Arizona, USA.

Purpose Of Review: This review aims to understand the foundations of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and biofeedback, their indications for therapy, and evidence-based support.

Recent Findings: Both CBT and biofeedback are noninvasive therapy options for patients who are suffering from a variety of chronic pain conditions, including chronic low back pain, headache, fibromyalgia, and temporomandibular disorder (TMD). CBT has been shown to be effective in treating multiple chronic pain conditions.

Objectives: Chronic pain is a leading cause of morbidity in children and adolescents globally but can be managed with a combination of traditional Western medicine and integrative medicine (IM) practices. This combination has improved various critical health outcomes, such as quality-of-life, sleep, pain, anxiety, and healthcare utilization. These IM practices include acupuncture, yoga, biofeedback, massage, mindfulness, or any combination of these modalities.

Evaluation of mechanisms of action of EEG neurofeedback (EEG-nf) using simultaneous fMRI is highly desirable to ensure its effective application for clinical rehabilitation and therapy. Counterbalancing training runs with active neurofeedback and sham (neuro)feedback for each participant is a promising approach to demonstrate specificity of training effects to the active neurofeedback. We report the first study in which EEG-nf procedure is both evaluated using simultaneous fMRI and controlled via the counterbalanced active-sham study design.
