Purpose: This study was to determine the effects of laughter therapy on stress response and pain of military patients with low back pain.
Method: The subjects in the experimental group received 3-sessions of laughter therapy on 3 consecutive days. The primary outcome measures were state anxiety, depression, blood pressure, pulse rate and pain.
Result: After 3 sessions of laughter therapy, the scores of state anxiety (p=.046), depression (p=.028) and pulse rate (p=.003) were significantly lower and diastolic blood pressure (p=.038) was significantly higher in the experimental group than those in the control group. The level of pain (p=.711) was not different significantly between two groups.
Conclusion: Laughter therapy could be an effective strategic intervention for military patients with low back pain to reduce the level of anxiety and depression. Further studies are needed to determine long-term effects of laughter therapy and its effects on cardiovascular system and pain.
