Biofeedback Training Case Study

This main purpose of this experiment to how evidence-based interventions for anxiety can be adapted for use in IPC settings. We focus the discussion on BHCs because of their increased likelihood of implementing these types of interventions, but PCCs and other members of the primary care team can also benefit from and use the information in their clinical practice. We provide the rationale and procedure for a variety of CBT interventions that may be adapted from larger-scale, empirically supported, anxiety treatments. We focus on CBT techniques because they have strong empirical support (Arch & Craske, 2009); are

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is ubiquitous and a proven approach to treatment for a host of diverse psychological difficulties (Wedding & Corsini, 2014). There are copious of acceptable created experiments that show to be highly useful in treating anxiety disorders through GAD Generalized Anxiety Disorder approach (Fawn & Spiegler, 2008). The purpose of this assignment is to expound on the client’s demography and demonstrating concern. The first procedure in this assignment will consist of the required informed consent and the client background information. Thus, a succinct discretion of the theoretical framework of CBT will describe the theoretic framework of CBT therapy expended in this assignment (Wedding & Corsini, 2014; Fawn & Spiegler, 2008). The next steps will adherent on how information regarding the clients past and present is problematic amalgamated to form an evaluation and to construct the client’s treatment. In the midst of assessment or the evaluation process and schema is implemented to create the sessions, examination, and provide feedback throughout each session.

:01 PM-3:00 PM SC received a telephone call from Pa states that she was discharged to home on 1/22/2016 from PowerBack Rehab, and she wants her services to start again. SC asked Pa when she was discharged from the hospital. The Pa reported that she was discharged to rehab on 12/22/2015. The Pa stated that she needs someone to help her with her personal care and home management. SC asked Pa where Quintella is (Pa’s DCW/dtr). The Pa reported that she don’t know but she is gone and not coming back. SC informed Pa that the SC spoke with the DCW/dtr Quintilla Bentley on 1/14/2016 and she reported that she (Pa) was scheduled for surgery on the same day 1/14/2016. The Pa exclaimed that whatever she reported was not true. The Pa reported that she had surgery on the 12/14/2015. The SC

As the 123 64 Appl Psychophysiol Biofeedback 34:59-68 intervention protocols were not consistently tied to the QEEG database analysis, this research was treated as a standard QEEG method due to its consistency in inhibiting theta and rewarding low beta microvolts.

A study by, Vong et al (2011), studied the effect of using motivational enhancement therapy in addition to physical therapy on creating positive outcomes with patients with chronic low back pain. The study was a double-blind, randomized controlled trial. The researchers developed the motivational enhancement therapy (MET) program, which focuses on the patient’s self-efficacy1. The physical therapists that were randomly selected to be a part of the MET group (n=3) received an eight-hour training session to learn the contents of the program1. The other group of physical therapists (n=3) did not receive MET training, and were instructed to conduct treatment as usual1. The participants (n=77) of the study were

“A revolution in the field of mental health was initiated in the early 1960s by Aaron T. Beck MD “ ( Beck,2011,pp 1) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be traced back to early 1920s as it stems from the development of behavior therapy. During the timeframe of 1950-1970 was when the concept of behavioral therapy was extensive used. It was inspired by the behavioral learning theory of Pavolov, Watson and Hull. (Bannink, 2012) The behavior therapy tradition took shape into what is now known as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). (Dattilio, 2014) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy was developed from a form of psychotherapy. (Castle, 2006)

The Self-administered Systematic Desensitization can be a useful tool for clients. When I was reading the document, I am surprised it included the tongue and mouth relaxation. I have not ever seen it before. Therefore, it is the most comprehensive relaxation tool that I have ever seen. Additionally, I joined guided imagery retreats before which was like the relaxation scene described in the guide. It was very relaxing experience, thereby I recommend it to my clients. Using this tool can be a good self-help technique for the clients since we cannot be with them all the time. That’s why it makes contribution to their self-agency.

Freidrich, et. al., (1998) implemented a motivational program with patients participating in physical therapy and found that patients who were a part of the motivational group increased their rates of attendance at scheduled physical therapy sessions and increased their short term compliance. This motivational program consisted of counseling and educational sessions designed to emphasize the importance of regular exercise and reinforce patient’s productive behavior as it occurred through treatment. Another study attempted to use mindfulness based interventions in chronic lower back pain management, and found mild to moderate success reducing pain (Ehrenbrusthoff, et. al., 2014). These interventions imply that patient’s compliance with rehabilitation can be changed and positively affected by brief, targeted interventions. However, there is still a need for more effective interventions targeting patient adherence both during and after physical therapy. Interventions that target daily life stress, negative mood, and willingness to experience discomfort as opposed to specific psychological symptoms can create the most impact on physical therapy rehabilitation compliance (Brewer et al, 2013; Sluijs, Kok, & Zee,

The purpose of the research was to understand if the patients who have non-cardiac chest pain could use Internet delivered cognitive behavioral therapy program. Non-cardiac chest pain is a pain in the chest that is not related to a heart attack or a heart disease. The patient feels a squeezing pain behind the breastbone and sometimes this spreads to the neck, left arm or back. It is estimated that 50% of patients who go to the hospital for chest pains have non-cardiac symptoms. These patients are often in distress due to the pain and often think that their chest pains are undetected cardiac disease. This is especially true in patients who regularly have the non-cardiac pain. Going to the hospitals for non-cardiac pains could be costly as well as be

Both the frequency and magnitude graphs had little variation between the two. The frequency graph showed that visual, clinical, and statistical significance were reached since I was able to lower feeling stress under three times a day. Because the intervention was able to show visual, clinical, and statistical significance, this concludes that there was a decline in my stress levels because of the intervention and was effective when it came to frequency. The magnitude graph shows positive results for visual and statistical significance, yet failed in terms of clinical significance. As mentioned previously, even though I felt less stressed during the intervention phase, it was not enough to reach my goal.

Biofeedback is used to treat many different medical problems. Some being traumatic injury, gain control over their pain, anxiety, headaches, hypertension, and Raynaud's disease. Using biofeedback techniques is a way to get the patient to recognize the stressors and triggers that brings on their pain that way they can stop the pain that is normally for some chronic or others it is acute pain.The article that I chose was “Biofeedback: A way to regain some control over pain,” written by Anthony Witney and was published in the “Journal of Family Practice.” The “Journal of Family Practice” writes about a wide range of medical topics since it is a journal about family health. The journal will write about anything from geriatrics, vaccines, men’s

Sonya S. Descheˆnes • Michel J. Dugas (2012) studied the way that the cognitive behavior changed for patients who received the treatment for general anxiety disorder. The treatment was based on a 14 week treatment with 59 adult patients that had the anxiety disorder. They get weekly questionnaires and they also get the symptoms of the treatments of the patients. They were supposed to testing to see if there were sudden gains from the

There are many limitations that come with the three methods that James C. Shepard wrote about, however, there was one main limitation mentioned in the article that had a huge impact on the outcome. The methods used neurofeedback training to treat those who suffer from a substance use disorder. The major limitation for the neurofeedback training was that there are many drugs and they each cause different side effects. James found that the training worked best with alcohol users, which is a depressant, marijuana, and perceptions drugs. However the neurofeedback training did not work as well with stimulus drugs such as cocaine. Another major limitation that was not talked about as much as the others was that the feedback training is based on brainwaves,

Biofeedback is the process of making patients aware of certain physiological functions such as the heart rate or muscle tension. Using feedback about their responses, they are taught to alternate responses to develop relaxation. Biofeedback is presented to be very effective at supervising different types of pain. Relaxation and meditation focus on helping an individual concentrate, on a single thought/image or varies parts of the body to develop a relaxation response. People learn to concentrate on internal sensations by tuning out distractions; this process can develop control, a sense of calm, and relaxation. These methods are presented to have great effects on acute and chronic pain. I have tried meditating. I think it’s very effective once

Biofeedback is a process that allows patient’s to develop awareness over certain functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, muscle tension, and EEG rhythms. Patients are taught how to monitor and control these body responses, which results in relaxation, and a relief from certain types of pains. Biofeedback has been efficiently used to relieve headaches and hypertension. Relaxation and meditation techniques provide muscle relaxation and physical relaxation to the patient’s mind and body. The technique eliminates distractions allowing the patient to focus on one single thing to promote relaxation, and increase a sense of awareness. These techniques are known to be affective in stress related circumstances because, it encourages individuals
