Bhat, P. (2010). Efficacy of Alfa EEG wave biofeedback in the management of anxiety. Industrial Psychiatry Journal, 19(2), 111–114. Anche questo gruppo di ricerca ha dimostrato che il biofeedback ha la stessa efficacia degli psicofarmaci nel trattamento dell'ansia in 100 pazienti con diagnosi psichiatrica di ansia, quest'ultima misurata con la Hamilton Anxiety Scale e la Taylor's Manifest Anxiety Scale.
Fehring, R.J. (1983). Effects of biofeedback-aided relaxation on the psychological stress symptoms of college students. Nursing Research, 32(6), 362-6. Ha trovato che l'aggiunta del GSR biofeedback ad un tipo di tecnica di rilassamento riduce i sintomi di ansia più che il rilassamento da solo.

Vanathy, Sharma, e Kumar (1998), applicando l’EEG biofeedback (neurofeedback) al disturbo d'ansia generalizzata, hanno confrontato l’incremento delle onde alfa con l’incremento delle onde theta. Le due procedure sono risultate entrambe efficaci nel ridurre i sintomi.
Wenck, Leu e D'Amato (1996) hanno sottoposto 150 persone classificate al settimo e ottavo grado dello STAI (ossia con alti livelli d'ansia di stato e di tratto) a 2 differenti protocolli di biofeedback: l'EMG biofeedback e il biofeedback della temperatura. Hanno trovato una riduzione significativa sia dell’ansia di stato che di tratto.
Yucca e Gilbert (2004) riferiscono che "studi randomizzati e ben controllati hanno dimostrato che il biofeedback è superiore ad altri metodi di rilassamento e di auto-controllo nel ridurre l'ansia".
