Conclusions:
The regular use of Migun Stimulator Beds is associated with significant improvement in all self-reported domains of health measured, including 1) stress evaluation, 2) physical functioning, 3) physical state, 4) mental and emotional state, 5) life enjoyment, and 6 ) social well-being.
Moreover, the positive health and wellness benefits of Migun technology appear to increase with continued use and generally show no upper limit.

Conclusions:
The regular use of Migun stimulator beds is associated with:
• High incidence (ca. 80%) of health and wellness benefits as reported across a wide variety of diseases and symptoms.
• Several types of initial reactions ( e.g., mild dizziness, pain, rashes, etc.). These are generally mild in severity and resolve within several weeks of continued use.
• The customer satisfaction rate for Migun use is extremely high (96%), and 99% recommend the technology to their friends and relatives.
