Only relaxation training may reduce arousal in stress; leaves open whether EMG biofeedback adds benefit beyond instructions.
Does frontal EMG biofeedback and relaxation instructions reduce indices of arousal in subjects during training and stressful situations?
In stressful situations, comprehensive relaxation training is more effective than EMG biofeedback or simple relaxation instructions in producing a general relaxation effect.
Burish et al. (1981) studied this question.
