Temperature Biofeedback measures peripheral skin temperature, which reflects changes in blood flow and autonomic nervous system activity. When individuals experience stress, anxiety, or emotional arousal, blood vessels often constrict, causing peripheral temperature to decrease. Conversely, relaxation and effective self-regulation are typically associated with increased blood flow and warmer extremities.

During temperature biofeedback training, clients receive real-time information about changes in skin temperature while learning relaxation, breathing, and self-regulation techniques. This process helps individuals develop greater awareness of how stress affects their body and teaches practical skills for improving physiological control. Temperature biofeedback is commonly used to support stress management, migraine and headache treatment, anxiety reduction, circulation improvement, and overall autonomic nervous system regulation.
