Abstract

Modern day life is replete with stress, development and increased dependency on technology comes with a baggage of stress. Stress is the major factor responsible for lifestyle related disease. The below study was conducted to evaluate the extent to which stress management could be carried out in subjects of different age groups using biofeedback as a technique for stress management. Biofeedback therapy is a tool in which the subjects are trained how to relax using program generated audiovisual effects which monitor the parasympathetic response as the patient gets more and more relaxed. Biofeedback is a perfect example of mind body interface where the progress made by patient could be accessed by patient himself.
