I think that more needs to be added to the uses of biofeedback for anxiety and also go over the more inventive uses of biofeedback.

Anxiety Management

A meta analysis by the University of Cambridge compiles previous studies on biofeedback being used in the management and control of anxiety. In this article the previous studies are evaluated for validity and relevance into how they attribute to the effectiveness of biofeedback being used in tandem with other forms of therapy to produce reduced and manageable anxiety. This analysis concluded that the use of biofeedback in the form of HRV monitoring produced self reported large reduction of anxiety as a consistent finding in the studies that were a part of the meta analysis.

Relaxation
In a study of 18 healthy individuals published in the International Journal of Stress Management it was established that with the use of biofeedback there were large improvements in the individuals ability to relax which was translated in the individuals having improved scores on the Smith Relaxation States Inventory 3 test which measures mindfulness, energized positive feelings and basic relaxation.

Mobile games
Chill Out is a mobile game that uses biofeedback in the form of managing speed of breathing to promote stress reduction. This game accomplishes this by penalizing rapid breathing and therefore promoting a slower more normal breathing pattern that produces a decrease in stress levels.
