Chronic pain is a challenging health problem for health practitioners and clinicians. Individuals suffering from chronic back pain report substantial impairments in their daily activities, including social and work functioning. This study aimed to examine the short-term and long-term effects of biofeedback on pain-related outcomes. Researchers found that biofeedback treatment, whether standalone or as an additional feature in psychological or physical therapy, can lead to improvements in pain intensity, muscular tension, emotional state, and cognitive coping among chronic back pain patients in both the short- and long-term.
