  • Title: Self-control of psychophysiologic response to motion stress: using biofeedback to treat airsickness.
    Author: Jones DR, Levy RA, Gardner L, Marsh RW, Patterson JC.
    Journal: Aviat Space Environ Med; 1985 Dec; 56(12):1152-7. PubMed ID: 3910020.
    Abstract:
    Investigators of the Neuropsychiatry Branch, Clinical Sciences Division, U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM), provided biofeedback-moderated behavioral treatment to 53 fliers grounded for chronic, severe motion sickness, and followed each flier for 2 years after treatment completion. Success was defined as returning to and maintaining satisfactory operational flying status. Of these, 42 fliers (79%) met this criterion; 3 (6%) were partially successful, and 8 (15%) were subsequently grounded for recurrent airsickness. Follow-on studies will investigate psychophysiological mechanisms through which this method of treatment works.
