During training and posttraining effects of live and taped extended progressive relaxation, self-relaxation, and electromyogram biofeedback

Compared live and taped progressive relaxation (LR, TR), self-relaxation (SR), and EMG biofeedback (BF) on measures of autonomic and somatic arousal and subjective tension. 40 20-54 yr old male and female respondents to an ad for therapy were evaluated in 5 training sessions and a posttraining asses...

Zusammenfassung:Compared live and taped progressive relaxation (LR, TR), self-relaxation (SR), and EMG biofeedback (BF) on measures of autonomic and somatic arousal and subjective tension. 40 20-54 yr old male and female respondents to an ad for therapy were evaluated in 5 training sessions and a posttraining assessment of self-control. During training, LR was superior to TR on reductions in physiological arousal; SR and BF were equivalent except for the superiority of SR on reductions in autonomic arousal. After training, LR was superior to the other procedures on self-control of autonomic arousal. It is concluded that LR is the treatment of choice for a variety of clinical objectives. (30 ref)
