Biofeedback is a therapeutic paradigm that teaches patients how to gain awareness and control over previously unrecognized sympathetic changes such as body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate. We propose to use a six session biofeedback protocol that includes heart-rate variability (HRV) biofeedback, respiration/relaxation training, and body temperature control to treat patients with unaddressed respiratory symptoms (e.g. shortness of breath) who are under the care of pulmonologists and have not responded to traditional biomedical approaches (e.g. inhalers, pulmonary rehab, etc.).
