Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 28-2 (April 1986) . - p.139-146 Titre : Biofeedback and relaxation-response training in the treatment of pediatric migraine Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : David W. FENTRESS, Auteur ; Bruce J. MASEK, Auteur ; James E. MEHEGAN, Auteur ; Herbert BENSON, Auteur Année de publication : 1986 Article en page(s) : p.139-146 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : To assess the efficacy of electromyographic biofeedback, relaxation-response training and pain behavior management as a treatment for pediatric migraine, we studied 18 children between the ages of eight and 12 years (mean = 10 X 1) in a prospective, randomized, controlled investigation. Six patients received all three treatment procedures, six received relaxation-response training and pain behavior management, and the remaining six constituted a waiting-list control group. All patients kept a record of their headaches for the 15-week study period and then for four weeks one year later. Following four weeks of baseline, the treatment groups completed nine one-hour treatment sessions in 11 weeks. Both treatment groups experienced a significant reduction in headache symptoms and were significantly improved compared to the waiting-list control group by the end of treatment. The treatment groups did not differ from each other in any of these comparisons. The reduction in headache symptoms in the treatment groups was maintained one year after treatment ended. These results suggest that relaxation-response training, with or without biofeedback training, combined with pain behavior management, is an effective alternative treatment for pediatric migraine.

Biofeedback treatment of fecal incontinence in patients with myelomeningocele / William E. WHITEHEAD in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 23-3 (June 1981)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 23-3 (June 1981) . - p.313-322 Titre : Biofeedback treatment of fecal incontinence in patients with myelomeningocele Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : William E. WHITEHEAD, Auteur ; Lynn H. PARKER, Auteur ; Bruce J. MASEK, Auteur ; Michael F. CATALDO, Auteur ; John M. FREEMAN, Auteur Année de publication : 1981 Article en page(s) : p.313-322 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Approximately six hours of biofeedback training was given to eight fecally incontinent children with myelomeningocele in order to establish bowel control. Their ages ranged from five to 15 years. The patients were shown a polygraph tracing of the external anal sphincter while they were being encouraged voluntarily to contract the sphincter when the rectum was distended with progressively larger volumes of air in a balloon. Seven of the eight patients showed normal sensation for rectal distension. Following this training period, five of the children had no incontinent periods, and two of these had discontinued enemas or suppositories. A sixth patient had an 80 per cent reduction in the frequency of incontinence. The remaining two did not benefit. At follow-up between 13 and 24 months later, four children were incontinent once a month or less often; two others were incontinent once per day, a considerable decrease from the pretraining period. The two children who failed to learn were still incontinent at follow-up. These results show that fecally incontinent patients with myelomeningocele can learn to evacuate normally or to reduce soiling after a relatively short period of biofeedback training.
