“…The findings of Anshasi et al 13 , are in accordance with the results of this study, which demonstrate that the PMR technique can significantly reduce the intensity of cancer-related pain in patients receiving palliative care, both immediately and one month after the intervention. The findings of another study indicated that the PMR technique is an effective method for alleviating pain and abdominal distension in patients who have undergone colonoscopy 28 .…”

The purpose of this research was to ascertain how progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) technique affected hip fracture patients' anxiety, sleep quality, and post-operative pain. This parallel randomized controlled trial was conducted on 100 patients with hip fracture hospitalized in one of the reference orthopedic hospitals in Tehran, Iran who were selected using convenience sampling and randomly were placed in two PMR group (n = 50) and control group (n = 50). Data were collected by Demographic information questionnaire, Visual analogue scale for pain rating, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. The PMR technique was the progressive muscle relaxation technique, which was started the night after the surgery for three nights before going to bed. Data were collected on two occasions, including before the PMR technique and the day after the last stage of the PMR technique. The data were analyzed by SPSS software using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed significant within-group changes in both groups' post-operative pain, sleep quality, and anxiety scores (P < 0.001). The progressive muscle relaxation group experienced decreased post-operative pain and anxiety scores and increased sleep quality scores (P < 0.001). The linear mixed model showed that the absolute changes in the follow-up post-operative pain, sleep quality, and anxiety scores were 1.19 and 7.94 units, significantly lower than the baseline, respectively. The results revealed significant within-group changes in both groups' post-operative pain, sleep quality, and anxiety scores (P < 0.001). The progressive muscle relaxation group experienced decreased post-operative pain and anxiety scores and increased sleep quality scores (P < 0.001). The study's findings demonstrated the beneficial effects of progressive muscle relaxation on hip fracture patients' outcomes, such as their level of anxiety, sleep quality, and post-operative pain. The study's findings can be applied by medical professionals to improve patient satisfaction and care quality.This clinical trial has been registered with the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials under the code IRCT20231120060119N1, which was approved on 7/12/2023.

“…Progressive muscle relaxation as a therapy to control feelings and anxiety , affective and Physiological responses will appear, for example an increase in blood pressure and heart rate. Progressive muscle relaxation can provide double benefits, namely causing more positive individual adaptation in a short time and reduce the anxiety that occurs does not depend on the neutralization process stressor so that it will reduce the pain experienced by DM sufferers [19] .…”

Neuropathic pain in DM sufferers can be reduced by providing non-pharmacological therapy by providing relaxation or by providing education such as providing music therapy, relaxation and guided imagery. Physical exercise with relaxation that can be applied to DM patients includes Progressive Muscle Relaxation. The movements in PMR exercises aim to tighten and relax the muscles in one part of the body at a time to provide a feeling of physical relaxation. Relaxation can calm the nervous system so that the sufferer's body relaxes. This study aims to determine the effect of PMR in reducing neuropathic pain in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The research design used the Quasy Experiment One Group Pretest – Posttest Control Group Design. The population in this study were all type 2 DM patients who experienced neuropathic pain. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Progressive Muscle Relaxation was given once a day for 7 days, and the pain scale was measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before and after administering PMR. The results of the study showed that the average pain level in the pre-test control group was 6 and post-test 5, while in the intervention group the average pre-test was 6 and post-test 4.81. The results of the Wilcoxon test in the control group showed a p value of 0.187 so there was no change in pain levels in the control group, while the intervention group showed a p value of 0.0001. The conclusion of this study is that there is a change in pain levels before and after PMR, so PMR can reduce neuropathic pain in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

An effective rehabilitation program is essential for patients having surgery to regain full physical functions and improve their quality of life. This quasi-experimental study aimed to examine the effectiveness of a rehabilitation program on functional recovery and gastrointestinal quality of life among people with colorectal cancer undergoing surgery. This program was developed using integrated concepts from the Symptom Management Model and Self-Regulation Theory and involved nurse-patient co-operation. Sixty-four participants undergoing colorectal cancer surgery admitted at three tertiary hospitals in Bangkok, Thailand, were recruited into the experimental (n = 32) or control group (n = 32). The experimental group received the Rehabilitation Program after Colorectal Surgery in addition to usual care. The control group received only usual care. The instruments used for data collection were a demographic data record, a Pain Rating Scale, the Abdominal Distension Assessment Scale, the Gastrointestinal Function and Eating Record Form, a Six-Minute Walk Test, a digital spirometer for forced vital capacity, and the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index. The outcomes were measured before starting the program, on postoperative days 1 and 3, and two weeks after discharge. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test, paired t-test, independent t-test, and repeated measures ANOVA.Results showed that the experimental group had significantly less pain severity and higher functional walking capacity than the control group. For the gastrointestinal quality of life, the experimental group achieved significantly better results in the symptom and physical function domains two weeks after discharge. In conclusion, the Rehabilitation Program after Colorectal Surgery could control symptoms, promote postoperative activities, and enhance recovery and some gastrointestinal quality of life domains. Nurses can use this program to increase functional ability and improve the quality of life among people with colorectal cancer receiving surgery. However, further testing using randomized controlled trials is needed before it can be widely used in practice.
