In patients with highly likely LAS, biofeedback reduced pain days per month from 14.7 to 3.3 and pain intensity from 6.8 to 1.8 on a 0-10 scale, both significantly greater reductions than EGS or massage, with benefits sustained at all follow-up points.
Effect sizePain days: 14.7 baseline to 3.3 after biofeedback vs 8.9 EGS vs 13.3 massage. VAS: 6.8 to 1.8 biofeedback vs 4.7 EGS vs 6.0 massage.
