Research of Biofeedback Therapy for Bronchial Asthma : the 5th Report

Abstract

Biofeedback therapy using the respiratory resistance meter is expected to be effective for bronchial asthma. We experienced 6 cass of 33 year-old woman, 22 year-old woman, 59 year-old woman, 69 year-old man, 43 year-old man, 38 year-old man. Each patient underwent 1 times per week. In 6 cases, the 2 cases were effective and 4 cases were not so effective. On these non-effective 4 cases, could be seen remarkably character of flight into illness, and often they had not continuous regular exercise once a week. Following that fact, we considered that personality of patient was important for getting successful result of biofeedback. It might be very significant to make a further investigation to proceed the biofeedback therapy for bronchial astham.
