Effects of two desensitization techniques, biofeedback and relaxation, on intractable epilepsy: follow-up study

R J Cabral et al. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 1976 May.

Abstract

Two techniques of desedsitization, biofeedback and relaxation, were employed in a crossover design for the treatment of three young female patinets suffering from drug resistant epilepsy associated with anxiety and phobic symptoms. The patients were followed up for 15 months after the six months of treatment. The results indicate that both relaxation and biofeedback improved the patients' control of their seizures and the effects were maintained during the follow-up period.
