Senior consultant Anne Hege Aamodt highlights biofeedback on Good Morning Norway on TV2

Today, Anne Hege Aamodt, senior consultant and professor at Oslo University Hospital, was a guest on Good Morning Norway to talk about migraine - a condition that affects around 800,000 Norwegians. In her segment, she talked about how migraines affect everyday life for many people, and what types of measures and aids are available to manage the symptoms and stress that can trigger attacks.

Aamodt highlighted both established medical alternatives and newer technological solutions that can support self-management. One of the tools she showed was biofeedback, a method that has been researched for decades and is used to become more aware of the body's reactions through real-time measurements of, for example, heart rate variation and muscle tension.

During the broadcast, Cenli was shown as an example of how this method can be made available at home. Aamodt described the product as the result of ten years of research and development work at NTNU and St. Olavs Hospital. At the same time, she emphasized that biofeedback is about providing insight into the body's signals, so that you can learn more about your own stress response and how the nervous system reacts in everyday life.

Aamodt's review shows how interest in technologies that support self-regulation and stress management is growing. Many people living with migraine say that knowledge of their own triggers and a better understanding of the body's reactions can make everyday life predictable and more manageable. Biofeedback is one of the tools that is increasingly being highlighted in this context, both in clinical research and in the public domain.

The fact that this is highlighted on a national platform such as Good Morning Norway shows how relevant the topic is - and how important it is to have knowledge and accessible information for everyone living with migraine in Norway.
