The comparative effectiveness of electromyography and electroencephalography of biofeedback therapy of headache of tension in patients with different psycho-physiological characteristics

Abstract

The article analyzes the results of therapy of patients with headache of tension using the method of biofeedback. The examination was applied to patients with different psycho-physiological characteristics (anxiety, depression, hysteria, impulsiveness, R.M. Bayevskiy tension index under Holter monitoring of variability of cardiac rhythm during all period if keeping awake). The electromyography and electroencephalography of biofeedback trainings were applied to reduce pain syndrome and to ameliorate psychological conditions of patients. The analysis was applied to the complex of physiological (vegetative, electrophysiologic) and psychometric parameters. The difference ineffectiveness of therapy of headache of tension according parameter of biofeedback training (electromyography or electroencephalography) for patients with different psycho-physiologic characteristics was statistically proved.
