ABSTRACT
@#In this study we aimed to check a hypothesis about water sound (WS) effect can stimulate parasympathetic nervous system. A case-control study design was used. The students in control group did not listen WS, whereas students in case groups had been influenced under WSE by 3 different ways, including audio, video and shower. Data base had been obtained by performance of stress test, measurements of systolic and diastolic pressure, and counts of pulse. For statistical analysis, IBM SPSS 20.0 and Graphpad prism 7.0 were used. Interestingly, 92% of total students had stress. There were no differences between groups before WS effect. After WS effect, ANOVA test detected differences in diastolic pressure (ANOVA, F=6.209, p=0.001), stress score (F=15.21, p<0.001). Paired test was utilized to compare mean of values between before and post WS measurements, finding SP (p=0.001), SS (p<0.001) categories. It showed an effective WS influence. Chi-square test indicated that stress level of all students decreased significantly (p<0.001). But there were no differences between 3 methods of water therapy. In conclusion, WS has an effect of stimulation in immune system, useful for some diseases, in which parasympathetic system decrease and sympathetic system increases.
