要約(日本語): Cosmetic therapy has been identified as an effective method for improving quality of life (QOL) in elderly people in aging societies. However, quantitative evaluation of cosmetic therapy has not been adequate. We therefore evaluated the effects of cosmetic therapy on brain activity using electroencephalography (EEG). For EEG analysis, we used these three indexes, power variance function (PVF), power ratio of each frequency band and phase synchronization index (SI). Subjects comprised a total of 43 elderly women living in homes for the elderly. The results showed that cosmetic therapy changed the electrical distribution on the scalp into a normal pattern, and increased SI in alpha band. We hope that these findings will encourage more people to use cosmetic therapy to improve QOL.
