OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the effects of laughter on chronic head and neck pain.
METHODS: Subjects with chronic head and neck pain of ≥ six months duration occurring at least four days per week participated in this pilot cohort study. Differences in self-reported pain were assessed at baseline, Day 7, Day 14, Day 21 and Day 28 using the Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ), Present Pain Intensity (PPI), and Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Self-reported daily compliance with using the LaughMD™ app for laughter therapy was assessed. A generalized estimating equations approach was used to compare pain scores across study timepoints.
RESULTS: Thirty-five subjects completed the protocol. Pain scores showed a statistically significant reduction over time. Most [71.4% (n=25)] were compliant with app use.
CONCLUSION: Using laughter therapy via an app may be an effective adjunct for managing chronic head and neck pain which are frequent symptoms of orofacial pain.
