Laughter as medicine: How medical clowns help patients cope through humor

^{Published on 2025-01-10 11:11:30 - KUOW}

At a hospital, you may not expect to see clowns playing ukuleles or wearing tutus. But Matt Wilson says clowns can be a crucial distraction
even a companion
amid the fear and uncertainty of hospitals.

The article from KUOW discusses the role of medical clowns in healthcare settings, highlighting how they use humor to alleviate the stress and anxiety of patients, particularly children. Medical clowns, like those from the organization Clowns Without Borders, engage with patients through playful interactions, magic tricks, and laughter, which not only distracts from the clinical environment but also fosters a sense of normalcy and joy. The piece details how these clowns adapt their performances to the medical context, ensuring they are sensitive to the patients' conditions while still providing comic relief. It also touches on the psychological benefits of laughter, such as reducing pain perception and boosting mood, which can aid in the healing process. The article includes anecdotes from both clowns and patients, illustrating the profound impact of this unconventional therapy in hospitals.
