A client with chronic pain uses a machine to monitor his physiologic responses to pain. The unit transforms the data into a visu
al display and through seeing the pain responses, the client is taught to regulate his physiologic response and control pain through relaxation, imagery, or breathing exercises. This technique for pain control is known as:
Biofeedback is a strategy that deploys a machine to track physiological reactions on the body of the client by means of electrode sensors.
Explanation:
Biofeedback is a strategy that deploys a machine to track physiological reactions on the body of the client by means of electrode sensors.
The system converts the information into a visual representation and, by seeing the pain reactions, the client is taught to control his physiological response and pain by relaxation, imaging and respiratory exercises.
Figure 1 shows the past year prevalence of major depressive episode among U.S. adults aged 18 or older in 2017. An estimated 17.3 million adults in the United States had at least one major depressive episode. This number represented 7.1% of all U.S. adults.
