摘要
Eighteen patients with chronic low back pain (lbp ) of muscle tension origin were given an EMG biofeedback training. Compared to seven controls they showed a significant decrease during training in muscle tension and subsequently in pain. However, at follow-up EMG levels dropped to the initial (high ) level. Pain scores of patients with high pain decrements during training showed further improvement during follow-up, which was not the case with patients showing less substantial improvement. The importance of cognitions was discussed. © 1979 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
