Research Abstract

We investigated relaxing effect of transcutaneous electronic pulse device on psychological stress. During discomfort video stimulation, heart rate variability, levels of salivary alpha amylase, and levels of personal anxiety were measured in healthy adult subjects. These measures were compared between subjects with and without the transcutaneous electronic pulse device. From theresults, it was suggested that the transcutaneous electronic stimulation could induce relaxing effect understressful condition.
