Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

EMG (electromyography) measures muscle tension, which is often heightened in those with anxiety disorders. By providing visual or auditory feedback of muscle tension levels, patients can learn to consciously relax and reduce their anxiety. EKG (electrocardiogram) measures heart rate and rhythm, while EEG (electroencephalogram) measures brain waves, but these measures are less frequently used for biofeedback in the treatment of anxiety disorders. ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) is a completely different form of treatment for severe mental illness that involves inducing seizures through electrical stimulation.
