DEVICES AND METHODS FOR USING MECHANICAL AFFECTIVE TOUCH THERAPY TO REDUCE STRESS, ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP2022051659

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

To provide devices and methods for using mechanical affective touch therapy to reduce stress, anxiety and depression.SOLUTION: Methods and devices that reduce stress, anxiety and/or depression in a human by using mechanical affective touch therapy are provided. In one embodiment, the methods comprise (1) generating mechanical vibrations by using a sinusoidal waveform and a mechanical transducer of a transcutaneous mechanical stimulation device in response to an applied electronic drive signal, (2) controlling the mechanical vibrations of the electronic drive signal by a controller board so that the mechanical vibrations have a frequency of less than 20 Hz, and (3) delivering the mechanical vibrations to the body of the human via the mechanical stimulation device, thereby providing the human with transcutaneous mechanical stimulation that reduces the human's anxiety, stress and/or depression.SELECTED DRAWING: None
