Biofeedback: Infant asthma Biofeedback: asma infantil

Abstract

<p>The present study is a revision of the different applications of biofeedback in infantile bronchial asthma. The technique may be used on its own (preferably in the motor area) or in conjunction with other techniques such as hypnosis, relaxation, etc. However, it should be stated that previous work published in this field is difficult to interpret since results are inconclusive, it is, therefore, difficult to produce a scientific summary.</p><p align="justify">KEY WORDS: Biofeedback; infantile asthma; respiratory biofeedback.</p><p align="justify">Con este trabajo se pretende hacer una revisi&oacute;n sobre las distintas aplicaciones del biofeedback en el asma bronquial infantil, bien solo (preferentemente en el campo motriz) o bien asociado a otras t&eacute;cnicas de hipnosis, relajaci&oacute;n, etc. Aunque es necesario manifestar que la producci&oacute;n cient&iacute;fica relacionada con el tema, hace que tenga una dif&iacute;cil valoraci&oacute;n dado que sus resultados son no concluyentes y discutibles, lo cual dificulta la elaboraci&oacute;n de un resumen cient&iacute;fico.<br />PALABRAS CLAVE: Biofeedback; asma infantil; biofeedback respiratorio</p>
