Other modalities, e.g., EMG biofeedback, uses sensors on muscle areas of the body to detect increases and decreases in muscle tension. High blood pressure often uses finger temperature biofeedback. Biofeedback is used to reduce pain from stress. So, to the extent that stressors may be increasing pain levels, biofeedback and even guided relaxation CD's may be helpful for some people with rheumatoid arthritis.
