Abstract

When exposed to stress, the human body suppresses the parasympathetic nervous system and simultaneously activates the sympathetic nervous system, in order to resist to this condition and acquire energy. Materials and methods. FM5 Sensory® is an innovative technological device that integrates simultaneously: 1) photonic beams emitted by an LED system, 2) acoustic WiFi for listening to musical binaural frequencies and 3) inhaled aro-matherapy with interchangeable disposable diffuser. Aim was to evaluate the cortisol levels in urine collected for 24 hours before and after treatment for 30 minutes in six patients. Results. There was a small not statistical significant drop of urinary cortisol after treatment. Discussion and conclusion. Literature reports show that lighting is able to affect the mood of elderly people. Here a trend is reported although no statistical difference was detected. Additional studies with wide samples are mandatory to verify the real effect of LED therapy on cortisol.
