| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Objective: To assess the effects of noninvasive skin stimulation with microcones on constipation.
Subjects: The study included 44 subjects with constipation. The subjects were randomly divided into the following two groups: stimulation group (n = 23; group S) and placebo group (n = 21; group P).Intervention: The subjects were required to attach the skin stimulation devices to both cavum conchae with dedicated bandages every day for two months by themselves.Main Outcome Measures: The study assessed of the Japanese version of the constipation assessment scale (CAS-J), total mood disturbance (POMS2) score, and salivary amylase activity(SAA). Results: With regard to the CAS-J score, significant differences were observed in both groups. With regard to the POMS2 score and SAA, significant differences were observed in group S.
Conclusions: Noninvasive skin stimulation with microcones may relieve constipation. This procedure may be used as a self-care option.
