    This study found that auditory biofeedback significantly helped participants increase digital skin temperature (DST) but was less effective for decreasing it. This has potential applications for conditions like Raynaud's disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Biofeedback
    • Thermoregulation

    Background:

    • Digital skin temperature (DST) regulation is clinically relevant for conditions such as Raynaud's disease.
    • Alleviating the effects of cold environments and stressful stimuli on DST is a potential therapeutic goal.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the efficacy of auditory biofeedback in modulating digital skin temperature (DST).
    • To determine if participants could voluntarily increase or decrease DST using auditory biofeedback.

    Main Methods:

    • Ten participants underwent five sessions in a controlled 20°C environment.
    • Each session included baseline trials (no feedback) and experimental trials (auditory biofeedback for increasing or decreasing DST).
    • Digital skin temperature (DST) was monitored throughout the trials.

    Main Results:

    • Significant changes in DST occurred during baseline trials, varying over time.
    • A significant difference was observed between DST increase and decrease trials.
    • DST decrease during biofeedback trials was significantly different from baseline, while DST increase did not significantly differ from baseline.

    Conclusions:

    • Auditory biofeedback can significantly influence digital skin temperature (DST) modulation.
    • The effectiveness of biofeedback differs for increasing versus decreasing DST.
    • Further research may explore optimizing biofeedback protocols for therapeutic applications in thermoregulation disorders.
