sEMG Biofeedback for Episodic Migraines: A Pilot Randomized Clinical Trial
Appl Psychophysiol Biofeedback. 2024 Jan 27. doi: 10.1007/s10484-023-09615-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and potential effectiveness of a 6-week virtual sEMG biofeedback intervention for patients with episodic migraines. Patients with episodic migraines were randomized to treatment with a novel surface EMG (sEMG) at-home biofeedback device or a treatment as usual control group; they completed validated baseline and post-intervention assessments of migraine related disability (migraine-specific quality of life, anxiety and depression). Participants also underwent a seri...
