Prospects for the use of special technical devices for respiratory biofeedback treatment method

Abstract

Non - drug methods of treatment become increasingly popular. One effective method is a respiratory biofeedback. The effectiveness of this method is because the respiratory function in human organism has two contours of regulation - the involuntary, automatic based on maintaining the gas constants in the blood, and the voluntary, behavioral based on the involving of upper segments of the central nervous system which control motor activity of the respiratory muscles. The method of respiratory biofeedback has been shown to be effective in the prophylaxis and treatment of cardiovascular, pulmonary and neuropsychiatric diseases [1]. The results of extensive research proved decisive role of this method in combating the negative effects of stress, reducing anxiety and improving patients‘ quality of life [2].
