A Korean study compared the effects of a four-week laughter therapy program with a control group (no laughter therapy) on measures of depression, insomnia, sleep quality, thinking (cognitive) function, and health-related quality of life in 109 senior citizens (average age 75 years).
At the end of the four weeks, depressive symptoms improved significantly among the people in the laughter group, but not in the control group.
