[Efficacy of biofeedback in patients with chronic low back pain : Impact on pain intensity, psychological factors and stress markers].
Abstract
The treatment of patients with chronic pain should be carried out in interdisciplinary multimodal pain programs of which relaxation methods represent an integral part. The German disease management guidelines (NDGM) on nonspecific low back pain currently do not recommend biofeedback as a relaxation technique for chronic low back pain due to inadequate data. Furthermore, health insurances do not cover the costs of this treatment.
