Abstract: | A study of physician attitudes on biofeedback was conducted among members of the Harris County Medical Society, Harris County, Texas. The sample was drawn to match the proportionate representation in the society by speciality. Findings indicated that over 62% of the respondents had little knowledge of biofeedback, over 86% did not use biofeedback in their practice, 21.7% referred patients for biofeedback, and 47.1% were undecided whether insurance coverage should be provided. For specific disorders, adjunct treatment was the most recommended category for migraine and muscle contraction headaches, relaxation training for anxiety and tension, pain management, and essential hypertension. Responses were also analyzed by speciality category. |
