The purpose of this study was to examine the elderly's understanding about laughing therapy in Madhya Pradesh's designated locations. The sample of 30 older persons was chosen using a non-probability handy sampling approach. The older people's knowledge was assessed using a structured questionnaire. According to the data, the majority of older individuals have an average level of knowledge about laughing therapy, while 40% of samples have a bad level of information, 10% have a high level of knowledge, and none have an exceptional level of knowledge. The elderly must be educated on the benefits of laughing therapy in everyday life.
