Questions for your doctor about biofeedback

Preparing questions in advance can help patients have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions about biofeedback:

  1. Am I a good candidate for biofeedback?

  2. Which body functions should I seek biofeedback control over to help my condition?

  3. Do you recommend a particular therapist or facility?

  4. How often will I have biofeedback, and for how long a period? How long does each session last?

  5. Which methods of biofeedback training should I use?

  6. Should I use a journal to record my experiences with biofeedback?

  7. Could biofeedback improve the effectiveness of other treatments I am undergoing?

  8. Will biofeedback interfere with any of the medications I am taking?

  9. Should I restrict my use of biofeedback in any way because of my condition?

  10. When should I see an improvement? What are other treatment options if biofeedback doesn’t help me?
