Laughter has long been known to have positive effects on mental health, and a recent study conducted by researchers from the University of Jaén has provided further evidence of its benefits. The study, titled “The Role of Laughter Therapy in Adults: Life Satisfaction and Anxiety Control. A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis,” was published in the Journal of Happiness Studies and analyzed data from 33 clinical trials involving 2,159 adult participants.

The results of the meta-analysis showed significant reductions in anxiety levels (SMD = -0.83) and increased life satisfaction (SMD = 0.98) among adults who participated in laughter therapy. Subgroup analyses also highlighted the positive effects of laughter yoga, with even larger effects on anxiety (SMD = -1.02) and life satisfaction (SMD = 1.28).

The study compared the effects of laughter therapy with different control groups and found that laughter therapy was more effective in reducing anxiety when compared to no intervention or usual care. Additionally, online laughter therapy showed negligible effects on anxiety, indicating that the social interaction component of in-person therapy may play a crucial role in its effectiveness.

The researchers concluded that laughter therapy could be a beneficial intervention for reducing anxiety levels and improving life satisfaction in adults. They suggested that further randomized controlled trials should be conducted to strengthen the evidence supporting the use of laughter therapy in clinical settings.

This study adds to the growing body of research supporting the use of laughter therapy as a form of complementary medicine for mental health. By incorporating laughter therapy into treatment plans, healthcare providers may be able to improve the psychological well-being of their patients and enhance their overall quality of life.

In conclusion, laughter therapy has been shown to have significant benefits for managing anxiety and increasing life satisfaction in adults. Continued research in this area is essential to further understand the mechanisms behind these effects and promote the integration of laughter therapy into mental health treatment strategies.
