Autogenic biofeedback treatment for migraine. 1977

S L Fahrion

Autogenic biofeedback training appears to be a promising technique for the treatment of migraine headaches, as reflected in the literature reviewed herein and in the data from 21 patients who were followed up for an average of 10 months. Autogenic biogeedback training exemplifies an important trend in psychosomatic medicine, in shifting a major portion of responsibility for treatment process both depends on and facilitates greater understanding on the part of the part of the patient of psychosomatic events relevant to symptom development. Autogenic biofeedback training may also provide a useful tool for investigators exploring the relation between psychology and somatic medicine.
