Correction: Autogenic biofeedback training improves autonomic responses in a participant with cervical motor complete spinal cord injury- case report

Spinal Cord Series and Cases, 2023 · DOI: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41394-023-00602-5 · Published: July 12, 2023

Spinal Cord InjuryNeurology

Simple Explanation

This is a correction to a previously published article regarding a case study on autogenic biofeedback training for a person with a spinal cord injury. The correction pertains to the legend for Fig. 3, which describes gastric electrical activity measurements during the study. The corrected legend clarifies that the participant with spinal cord injury showed improvements in gastric electrical activity, moving closer to the normal range, while the non-injured participant showed no change.

Case Report

Key Findings

  • 1
    The participant with SCI's gastric electrical activity decreased and its variability decreased, becoming progressively closer to the normal range of 3 cycles per minute after autogenic biofeedback training.
  • 2
    The non-injured participant showed no change in gastric electrical activity.
  • 3
    Autogenic biofeedback training may improve autonomic responses.

Research Summary

This article is a correction to the legend of Fig. 3 in a previously published case report. The correction clarifies the effect of autogenic biofeedback training on gastric electrical activity in a participant with spinal cord injury compared to a non-injured participant. The corrected legend indicates an improvement in gastric electrical activity towards the normal range in the participant with SCI following the training.

Practical Implications

Clinical Practice

Autogenic biofeedback training could be considered as a complementary therapy to improve autonomic function in individuals with spinal cord injury.

Further Research

Further studies with larger sample sizes are warranted to confirm these findings and explore the mechanisms underlying the observed effects.

Personalized Medicine

Individual responses to biofeedback training may vary, highlighting the need for personalized treatment approaches based on individual patient characteristics.

Study Limitations

  • 1
    Single case report limits generalizability.
  • 2
    Lack of a control group in the original study.
  • 3
