Erythromelalgia — A Case for Biofeedback

Abstract

Beverly is one of the growing number of patients who are looking to biofeedback for relief. As the instruments become more available, more compact, and more sturdy, and as clinical nursing research moves into the vanguard of care and application, increasing numbers of health care problems will no doubt prove to be amenable to this type of intervention. In this case, the biofeedback therapist was a nurse and the referring professional was Beverly’s internist. Thus appears another role for nurses, that of biofeedback therapist acting upon referrals from a physician colleague.
