| Research Abstract |
Change of plasma beta- endorphin content was analyzed as an index of the relaxation response during the body-sonic experiment. A certain mental stress was forced to each of 43 healthy subjects, and three kinds of experimental relaxation were carried out ; relaxing in bed merely, in bed enjoying good music, and in body-sonic bed harmonized music. The beta- endorphin was surely induced by the stress, and then variously reduced during the relaxation period. For example, the beta- endorphin content decreased in half of subjects received the body-sonic bed vibration. Moreover, even in this group, some subjects claimed to feel no relaxation and excess vibration. These fluctuated responses attribute to different sensitivity of the subjects against stimuli of both music and sonic vibration used.
Change of beta- endorphin secretion, therefore, is fully acceptable to one of direct, relaxation indices, provided that the most comfortable music and sonication will be applied to individual subject.
