title: [Application of biofeedback relaxation techniques during chemotherapy].
abstract: 60 cancer patients during chemotherapy were investigated by using case-control study. 30 of them were recruited as the experiment group and given biofeedback relaxation training, the others were controls. Both of the two groups were assessed with SCL-90 and questionnaire on physical reactions. Results showed that no significant difference was found between the average scores of SCL-90 (including F1, F3, F4, F5, F10) of the two groups before the intervention. However, lower average scores and less serious physical reactions (4 of the 6 items) were seen from the experiment group after the intervention. It is indicated that biofeedback relaxation training is effective in alleviating patient's unhealthy psychosomatic reactions during chemotherapy.
