The course provides sufficient material so participants will know (a) what the common biofeedback assessments and interventions are as well as how they work, (b) how the recording devices work in a clinical setting, (c) how to perform an effective recording, and (d) how to perform effective psychophysiological assessments and interventions. It is the objective of this course to provide you with the information you need to understand the underlying problems, be able to perform a reasonable assessment of patients with chronic pain, recognize when pain is not being appropriately or adequately ameliorated, and to be able to make or recommend interventions consistent with your clinical skills.
-
1. Describe the physiology, biochemistry, and psychology underlying pain mechanisms.
