Stress Related Medical Problems are often misdiagnosed in children. Anxiety can be correlated with a child's pain that may lead to more serious physical problems. Cognitive behavioral techniques and biofeedback can be effective methods of helping children monitor their physical symptoms and reduce their level of discomfort. Cognitive approaches may teach a child to perceive their medical problem as less threatening, helping them feel more in control. Biofeedback can give a child a great sense of control over their bodies and their medical problem.
