| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to develop a new sleep improvement procedure by using xenon light irradiation around the stellate ganglion (Xe-LISG). 68 healthy volunteers participated in this study. In this study, following three possibilities were investigated: 1) promotion of relaxation with Xe-LISG; 2) immediate sleep-ameliorating effect with Xe-LISG; 3) improvement in the quality of sleep with Xe-LISG. The findings of this study indicated that Xe-LISG provided not only immediate promotion of relaxation but also immediate sleep-ameliorating effect. On the other hand, the results of this study also clarified that the improvement in the quality of sleep with Xe-LISG was difficult.
