Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of EEG patterns induced by three types ((1) resting mode(control group), (2) light massage mode, (3) strong massage mode in the electrical chair-massager for 15 minutes) in a sample of 16 healthy adults. Changes in anxiety and stress were assessed, and electroencephalogram was recorded. Anxiety scores(STAI: State Anxiety Inventory, VAS: Visual Analog Scale) decreased in all groups. For anxiety scores, the strong massage group showed the greatest decrease in stress. All groups also showed an increase in delta and theta activity, but only strong massage group showed a signigicant difference. All groups showed a decrease in alpha activity. Also, EEG changes in two groups except a control group showed a decrease in beta activity.

본 연구에서는 16명의 건강한 성인을 대상으로 뇌파를 이용하여 휴식모드인 대조군과 체어형 전동 안마기에서 수행된 2가지 모드(약, 강)에 따라 뇌파의 변화를 관찰하고 이를 통해 안마기가 스트레스 완화에 미치는 효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 모든 피검자에서 스트레스 정도를 설문으로 평가하는 시각적 상사척도(VAS: Visual Analog Scale)에서는 세 가지 모드에서 모두 유의한 차이를 보이며 감소하였으며 이중 안마모드 강에서 가장 큰 감소를 보였다. 뇌파 변화에서는 세 가지 모드에서 모두 서파인 delta파, theta파가 증가하였으며 이 중 안마모드 강에서 유의한 증가를 보여주었다. 반면 세 가지 모드에서 모두 alpha파는 감소하고 안마모드 약과 안마모드 강에서 유의한 차이를 보였다. beta파의 경우 대조군을 제외한 안마모드 약과 안마모드 강에서 감소하였고 이중 안마모드 강에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보여주었다.
