What does PAB mean in UNCLASSIFIED

Pressure Air Biofeedback (PAB) is a therapeutic technique used to help individuals better identify and control their breathing patterns. This type of biofeedback focuses on the body's pressure changes during inhalation and exhalation, which helps reduce stress levels, increase relaxation, and improve overall health.

PAB can be used by patients with various conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), sleep apnea, anxiety disorders, or those who are struggling to control their breathing for general wellness purposes.

During PAB sessions, a patient wears a device that detects air pressure changes within their lungs. The patient then receives feedback in the form of visual or audible signals that inform them when they need to adjust their breathing accordingly. This helps them become aware of how different types of breathing can affect their bodily functions.

Some of the benefits associated with PAB include improved lung function, increased physical energy levels, deeper relaxation states for enhanced sleep quality, improved mental clarity and cognitive performance, reduced pain symptoms due to stress release. Additionally this therapy has been known to reduce anxiety levels significantly for those struggling with stress related issues.

It depends on each individual case but typically PAB takes between 4-12 sessions to see maximum benefit from this technique. Each session usually lasts 30-60 minutes depending on what type of Psychological session is needed as well as the discussion amount between therapist and patient at the time they meet.
