The present study evaluated the effect of frontal EMG biofeedback and relaxation training on a group of 20 anxious patients experiencing stressful life events. The patients were divided into two groups, high and low in stress, based on their life change score on the Recent Life Changes Questionnaire. Patients were evaluated at pre, post, and 6-week follow-up. Treatment consisted of 10 sessions of biofeedback-assisted relaxation. Results indicated that the high stress group showed pre to post changes on anxiety, depression, symptoms, and EMG, while low stress showed no change. Post to follow-up comparisons showed maintenance of improvement for the high stress group and no change for low stress. From pre to follow-up assessment, the high stress group showed significant changes. Both groups reported internal attributions following biofeedback and relaxation training. The high stress group attributed their improvement to the belief they were in control of their minds and bodies, while the low stress group most frequently reported the effort put into the task. The results indicate support for a cognitive explanation for some of biofeedback's effects.
