THE IMPACT OF QUANTUM BIOFEEDBACK IN REDUCING STRESS-RELATED ANXIETY AND PROMOTING NEUROPLASTICITY: AN INVESTIGATIVE REVIEW

Stress-induced anxiety can be debilitating and high-intensity experience, and biofeedback as an intervention tool has gained recognition as a promising method for managing stress-related anxiety by enhancing individuals' ability to regulate physiological responses and creating a path to homeostasis (Alneyadi et al., 2021).Recent global reports of increasing anxiety with a high intensity affecting a person's physical, emotional, and cognitive symptoms, alongside experiences of nervousness and distorted negative thoughts (American Psychiatric Association, n.d.;Sareen, et al. 2005), call for a holistic approach to treatment plans.Although traditional biofeedback is valid and reliable in its application and interventions, it still lacks a holistic perspective.This systematic review explores the viability of quantum biofeedback in its superiority over traditional methods for managing stress-related anxiety and its capacity to engage neural pathways in achieving plasticity through neural coding (encoding and decoding).The authors will examine the existing evidence to demonstrate quantum biofeedback's ability to provide patients with a holistic, comprehensive self-management strategy for reducing stress-induced anxiety while addressing interconnected physiological systems.Quantum biofeedback can be crucial in fostering neuroplasticity by simultaneously inducing and stimulating neural coding.By altering physiological responses to internal or external sensory stimuli, quantum biofeedback reorganizes and reshapes the structures, functions, or connections related to stress and anxiety, helping to form new connections and neural pathways.This potential exceeds that of traditional biofeedback methods, which is exciting and reflects the promising future of quantum biofeedback and the necessity for further research and validation.
