In biofeedback, sensors help you monitor and learn how to control body processes such as blood pressure or heart rate.



Pros: "Biofeedback can help you control some fibromyalgia symptoms such as tension headaches and help you relax," Dr. Arnold says. It may also ease pain and morning stiffness.



Cons: It is usually done in conjunction with CBT, and there is not as much evidence for its effectiveness on its own, Dr. Arnold says. It can also be costly, and insurers won't always foot the bill. It can take as many as 10 sessions before you start to see results.
