Good basic article describing the benefits of biofeedback. It does seem to limit its perceived benefits to so-called 'stress related' or tension disorders though it does not take into consideration that migraine is not stress related. It mentions temperature biofeedback, but doesn't give much information on it in relation to blood vessel dilation and shunting of blood and migraine.
