Abstract

Clinical psychophysiology is concerned, for the most part, with psychological, psychophysiological, and neuromuscular disorders that cause pain, or impair health or function, or are likely to do so in the future. It is not uncommon to find that their etiology is vague, and they may span an astonishing range of disorders, such as cardiovascular (e.g., angina, hypertension), cardiac (e.g., arrhythmias), digestive (e.g., gastritis, ulcers, colitis), pulmonary (e.g., hyperventilation, asthma), psychiatric (e.g., depression, anxiety, panic, phobias, sexual dysfunction), neurological (e.g., migraine, poststroke or other trauma), insomnia, and many more.
