Treatment of Panic Disorder Via Internet With a Wireless Temperature Biofeedback Ring
August 19, 2012 updated by: Fong-Lin Jang, Chimei Medical Center
A Study on Mental Health Care by Using Specific Vital Signs
Internet plays a more and more important role in many applications of healthcare.
Many researches on the integrations of internet and mental health care have been proposed in recent years.
This project aims at the development of an online treatment system which combines the biofeedback therapy and the web technologies to treat the patients suffering from panic disorder with partial response to medications.
This project also evaluates the efficacy of a new- designed wireless temperature biofeedback ring.

Detailed Description
The participants should be chronic panic patients.
They login an web-based server and practice muscle relaxation on-line every day.
There will be two two parallel groups: one group practicing muscle relaxation only and the other practicing muscle relaxation with finger surface temperature monitor through a wireless biofeedback ring.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: relaxation
The patients of this arm practice on-line muscle relaxation for 8 weeks.
|
Participants were asked to log in the system to keep the muscle relaxation program every day and complete some self-rating scales on browser every week.
|
Experimental: relaxation & biofeedback
The patients of this arm practice on-line muscle relaxation plus finger temperature biofeedback for 8 weeks.
|
Participants were asked to log in the system to keep the muscle relaxation program every day and complete some self-rating scales on browser every week.
