Biofeedback is a therapeutic, non-drug method that we can use to help us learn to control our body's biological functions and our physical responses, such as breathing, muscle tension, body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure and brain activity, all of which , which is usually not voluntarily controlled by us in everyday life.
Biofeedback method
Beautherapy in Moscow is used by modern specialists for paresis, attention deficit hyperreactivity disorder, neuritis, and also after removal of plaster. To carry out biofeedback therapy, two components are required: software and a special biofeedback therapy device. This device contains sensors that record breathing rate, heart rate, and brain signals. The signals received from the sensors are then converted into the form necessary for PC recognition.
The method of functional biofeedback with feedback is used by rehabilitation doctors and neurologists at the Yusupov Hospital. During the procedures, European equipment is used, which is distinguished by the accuracy of the results and high speed of data processing.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND:
- The greatest success is possible only with your conscious, active participation in the process of your own rehabilitation!
Unlike many medications, which cause significant damage to the human immune system and whose effectiveness decreases over time, biofeedback does not have such disadvantages! Using biofeedback techniques can help reduce your dependence on medications and, in most cases, stop taking them over time. Despite the need for a fairly large number of biofeedback therapy sessions and trainings, the knowledge and skills acquired during this time are definitely worth it!

Biofeedback therapy in Moscow
The Yusupov Multidisciplinary Hospital is a modern medical institution that provides not only effective treatment, but also high-precision diagnosis, recovery and prevention of diseases. Biofeedback therapy, the price of which varies depending on the pathology, is used by specialists at the Yusupov Hospital Resolution Center.
Experienced neurologists, therapists, traumatologists, and rehabilitation specialists create an individual therapy program for each patient aimed at eliminating the root cause of the pathology. The procedures offered by specialists at the Yusupov Hospital Rehabilitation Center are an optimal complement to drug therapy. Thus, in the absence of contraindications, biofeedback therapy is performed for headaches.
BOS is used:
· for the treatment of mental disorders;
· rehabilitation of patients with various pathologies;
· to enhance motivation for various purposes;
· to improve learning effectiveness;
· when preparing athletes for competitions;
· for the development of creative abilities;
· in the correction of mild mental disorders resulting from chronic stress. This is a kind of learning process that allows an individual to observe the signals of his body and learn to improve his own mental and physical health. That is, the patient is able to independently regulate the physiological functions of the body that are uncontrolled by consciousness
Biofeedback for facial nerve neuritis
The method of biofeedback for a broken leg has been sufficiently developed, as well as for diseases of the musculoskeletal system. This technique is also successfully used for lesions of parts of the brain. Muscle training using biofeedback allows the patient to learn how to perform a movement, which is reinforced and reproduced in the future.
At each session, rehabilitation doctors at the Yusupov Hospital select an individual load for the patient, which allows for gradual muscle recovery. In addition, biofeedback therapy is combined with other techniques to achieve a positive result.
The essence of the method
Let's figure out what the biofeedback method is and how the biofeedback apparatus works.
This method received the name “feedback” in an attempt to describe its essence in one phrase. The device, which “reads” the basic parameters of a person’s vital activity, sends them to a computer program, which, in turn, converts the signals into images that are intuitive for the patient.
The principle of operation of the biofeedback apparatus is similar to the principle of operation of a lie detector or EEG. The work of a lie detector is based on reading and recording changes in breathing rate, heartbeat, and skin reaction (redness or chills). Many people at least once undergo an electroencephalography (EEG) procedure, which allows you to painlessly assess the electrical activity of the brain (i.e., count its electrical impulses).
The biofeedback apparatus records the following physiological parameters:
- heart rate;
- vascular tone;
- peripheral temperature;
- waves of electrical activity of the brain, etc.
The device also evaluates the gain of parameters and converts the received information into audio signals and visual images. Through the perception of such images, the patient, under the guidance of a doctor, develops self-control skills.
Scheme of operation of the biofeedback complex
Today, the biofeedback complex is used in various fields: in medical practice, and in education, correction, training of athletes, and so on.
The physiological rehabilitation complex biofeedback is designed to carry out express diagnostics of the functioning of the autonomic nervous system, which controls the activity of all organs and systems of the body. Biofeedback helps assess the patient’s stress resistance and psycho-emotional state. This complex is also used for rehabilitation training, the purpose of which is to teach self-correction of psycho-emotional disorders of the body.
Biofeedback training is usually aimed at:
- normalization of the functional state of the nervous system;
- increasing resistance to stress;
- reduction of emotional stress;
- reduction of anxiety;
- increasing self-control and self-organization;
- acquiring relaxation skills;
- suppression of excessive vegetative activity in response to external stimuli;
- improvement of cognitive functions (memory, attention, thinking).
Typically, a biofeedback apparatus works in conjunction with an EEG device, which picks up electrical impulses from the brain and sends information to the biofeedback apparatus. He, in turn, adjusts the operation of the program according to the data received.
EEG trainings come in three types:
Alpha training (working with alpha rhythms of the brain). It is used in the treatment of depressive disorders and headaches, used to improve the emotional state and acquire relaxation and self-control skills, as well as for pain syndromes.
Beta/theta training . It is used in the treatment of neurotic and astheno-neurotic syndromes, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. With the help of this training, cognitive and motor functions are developed, anxiety and depression in mental illness are reduced.
GSR (galvanic skin response) training is aimed at suppressing overly intense reactions of the nervous system to external stimuli, reducing emotional tension, normalizing the rate of decay of the indicative reaction, which ultimately increases the stress resistance of the central nervous system.

Foot paresis: biofeedback for recovery
With paresis, patients' motor skills are impaired. A medical treadmill with biofeedback, the price of classes for which is calculated by specialists at the Yusupov Hospital for each patient individually, allows you to restore walking skills.
Movement therapy offered by specialists at the Yusupov Hospital Rehabilitation Center is safe. In addition, the biofeedback method is also used in recovery after plaster cast. The devices used for this procedure are distinguished by their functionality and high accuracy of results.
Biofeedback after a fracture
When the musculoskeletal system is damaged, muscle function is impaired. The biofeedback method for ankle fractures and other injuries eliminates the consequences of prolonged immobilization of the limb. Restoration of impaired function occurs in the rehabilitation center of the Yusupov Hospital according to an individual program.
Biofeedback after a fracture of the radius is aimed at strengthening the muscles. Biotraining occurs in several stages. Thus, at the initial stage, the patient develops an optimal state for biofeedback therapy. This is followed by classes using biofeedback equipment. Consolidating motor skills is the final stage of rehabilitation.
There are the following types of biofeedback:
1. Based on indicators of skin resistance (electrical), directly dependent on the mental state of a person. Sensors are placed on the patient's hand. In headphones, you can hear the pitch of the sound rising and falling - in a relaxed state of a person it is higher, in a tense state it is higher.
2. Based on the measurement of muscle tension. A bandage with sensors around the circumference is put on the head, as well as headphones with an interface. When the muscles of the forehead are relaxed, which helps reduce tension in the masticatory muscles, headaches and relaxation of the cervical-brachial region, a decrease in tone occurs.
3. Relying on indicators of bioelectrical activity of the brain, which helps concentration, learning, rapid relaxation, and improves sleep. Electrodes are placed on the head, and the results are reflected on the screen in the form of wavy lines. If they are regular, then the person is focused, and if they diverge, then the person is relaxed.
4. Based on recording the temperature of the skin - for this, temperature sensors are placed on it. Warm skin is an indication of relaxation, and when stress levels are high, it is cold. This occurs due to blood circulation in the subcutaneous layer.
5. Based on heart rate variability. This measurement demonstrates the heart's response to changes in mental, emotional and physical state. A sensor placed on the finger transmits a wave signal to the monitor.
Biofeedback therapy in gynecology
Biofeedback therapy for women in Moscow is aimed at strengthening intimate muscles. With insufficient or increased muscle tone, a number of delicate problems arise:
- urinary incontinence caused by a stressful situation;
- injuries and ruptures during labor;
- genitourinary system infections;
- sexual dysfunction;
- prolapse of the walls of the vagina and uterus.
Biofeedback therapy helps cure urinary incontinence and other problems by helping women learn self-regulation. So, during the procedure, a sensor is placed in the vagina to detect muscle contractions. The information obtained allows you to identify active muscles.

Biofeedback therapy is a learning process, not a healing process!
Just as one learns how to tie a shoe or ride a bike, people who receive biofeedback are active and engaged participants in the process, playing an active role in their own body's recovery by learning to control it and practicing to develop these skills. Instead of passively receiving treatment in medical centers taking various medications, you are an active learner and your own doctor! It's like learning a new language, but only your body (organism).
The absence of side effects and reactions makes biofeedback therapy very effective. For productive treatment with biofeedback, a very important factor is required that is specifically related to yourself - motivation, i.e. your most immediate active desire for recovery. However, beneficial results require time and effort for improvements and achievements to be achieved. If you do not want to follow the instructions of the biofeedback therapist and the tasks he has set for you, then even if all the other conditions are met, there will be no result. Therefore, your level of motivation is key to the success of biofeedback therapy, as well as your desire to actively participate in the treatment regimen. A high level of motivation can be ensured by a psychological focus on recovery.
The duration of one typical biofeedback session is 30 – 60 minutes. However, to achieve sufficient control over your body, consolidate these skills and solve problems that arise, you need an average of 10-15, and possibly more, visits to a specialist. In most cases, the length and number of sessions will depend on a number of factors and will be determined by your condition and how quickly you learn to control your body's physical responses. Our specialist will help you determine which biofeedback method is right for you based on your health problems.
Biofeedback therapy is strictly individual, dosed and controlled by a biofeedback therapist during each session throughout the entire treatment and correction course.
