Resumen

El surgimiento de las técnicas de biofeedback, ha sido uno de los fenómenos más importantes ocurridos en este siglo en el campo de la psicología clínica. No sólo se ha demostrado la posibilidad de aplicar las técnicas operantes al aprendizaje de funciones autonómicas y viscerales, sino también la posibilidad de aplicar estas técnicas, con fines de intervención terapéutica en multitud de trastornos psicosomáticos. Este artículo pretende ofrecer una visión histórica general sobre los inicios y evolución de las técnicas de biofeeback, hasta la actualidad, aportando una revisión bibliográfica sobre las diferentes técnicas de biofeedback y sus aplicaciones clínicas en distintos trastornos: estrés, migrañas, cefaleas tensionales, dolores, hipertensión, enfermedad de Rainaud, etc.
