Progressive Muscle Relaxation in persons with schizophrenia: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials
Clinical rehabilitation, 2012Co-Authors: Davy Vancampfort, Christoph U. Correll, T. Scheewe, Michel Probst, Amber De Herdt, Jan Knapen, Marc De HertAbstract:Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to assess the effectiveness of Progressive Muscle Relaxation on psychological distress and anxiety symptoms and on response/remission for people with schizophrenia. Methods: Randomized controlled trials were considered if they investigated Progressive Muscle Relaxation in patients with schizophrenia. EMBASE, PsycINFO, PubMed, ISI Web of Science, CINAHL, PEDro and Cochrane Library were searched. The selection of studies, data extraction and quality assessment were performed independently by two reviewers. Results: Three randomized controlled trials involving 146 patients met the inclusion criteria. Progressive Muscle Relaxation can acutely reduce state anxiety and psychological distress and improve subjective wellbeing. No studies investigated the evidence for Progressive Muscle Relaxation as an add-on treatment for general psychopathology and for positive or negative symptoms. Also, no studies assessed the value of Progressive Muscle Relaxation in longer-term treatment and for relapse prevention. There were no data to draw any conclusions about Progressive Muscle Relaxation in comparison with other treatment modalities. None of the studies encountered adverse events. Dose-response relationships could not be determined. Conclusion: Progressive Muscle Relaxation might be a useful add-on treatment to reduce state anxiety and psychological distress and improve subjective well-being in persons with schizophrenia.

Effects of Progressive Muscle Relaxation on state anxiety and subjective well-being in people with schizophrenia: a randomized controlled trial
Clinical rehabilitation, 2011Co-Authors: Davy Vancampfort, Jan Knapen, Marc De Hert, Katrien Maurissen, Julie Raepsaet, Seppe Deckx, Sander Remans, Michel ProbstAbstract:Objective: To examine the efficacy of a single Progressive Muscle Relaxation session compared with a control condition on state anxiety, psychological stress, fatigue and subjective well-being in patients with schizophrenia.Design: Randomized controlled trial.Setting: An acute inpatient care unit of an University Psychiatric Centre.Subjects: Sixty-four out of 88 eligible patients with schizophrenia.Interventions: Patients were randomly assigned to either a single Progressive Muscle Relaxation session during 25 minutes or a resting control condition with the opportunity to read for an equal amount of time.Main outcome measures: Before and after the single interventions the State anxiety inventory and the Subjective exercise experiences scale were completed. Effect sizes were calculated.Results: Only within Progressive Muscle Relaxation, participants (n=27) showed decreased state anxiety, psychological stress and fatigue and increased subjective well-being. Between-group differences in post scores were foun...

Progressive Muscle Relaxation and Mindfulness Meditation on Neuropathic Pain, Fatigue, and Quality of Life in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Journal of nursing scholarship : an official publication of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing, 2020Co-Authors: Nur Izgu, Zehra Gok Metin, Canan Karadas, Leyla Özdemir, Nuran Metinarikan, Demet CorapciogluAbstract:Purpose To examine the effects of Progressive Muscle Relaxation and mindfulness meditation on the severity of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (DPNP), fatigue, and quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes. Design An assessor-blinded prospective randomized controlled trial. Methods Participants were randomly assigned to the Relaxation group (RG; n = 28), meditation group (MG; n = 25), or control group (CG; n = 24). The mean age of participants was 64.2 ± 8.1 years in the RG, 61.6 ± 8.0 years in the MG, and 64.1± 6.6 years in the CG. Patients in the intervention groups performed Progressive Muscle Relaxation or mindfulness meditation at their home for 12 weeks, 20 min daily. The CG received only an attention-matched controlled education on pancreas anatomy and diabetes. Data collection was performed at baseline and at weeks 12 and 14 using the VAS, FACIT Fatigue Scale (FACIT-F), and Neuropathic Pain Impact on Quality of Life Questionnaire (NePIQoL). Findings VAS scores were significantly lower in the RG and MG at week 12 (p .05), a significant improvement in quality of life scores in the RG were provided at week 12 compared to those at baseline and week 14 (p Conclusions Both Progressive Muscle Relaxation and mindfulness meditation had a positive impact on providing pain relief in patients with DPNP. Moreover, Progressive Muscle Relaxation also appeared to have a beneficial effect on fatigue. Clinical relevance Based on the results, Progressive Muscle Relaxation and mindfulness meditation can be recommended as supportive therapies for the management of DPNP.

effects of Progressive Muscle Relaxation combined with music on stress fatigue and coping styles among intensive care nurses
Intensive and Critical Care Nursing, 2019Co-Authors: Bugse Ozgundondu, Zehra Gok MetinAbstract:Abstract Aim To examine the effects of Progressive Muscle Relaxation combined with music on stress, fatigue and coping styles amongst intensive care unit (ICU) nurses. Design A randomised controlled trial of 56 nurses aged 18 years and older, with at least three months experience. The intervention group (n = 28) received a 20 minute session comprising Progressive Muscle Relaxation combined with music for a total of eight weeks in the form of group sessions, while the control group (n = 28) received only a single-time face-to-face attention-matched education (20 minutes). The data collection tools were administered at baseline, at week four, eight and twelve. Setting Internal Medicine, Anaesthesia, and Coronary Intensive care Unit of a training and research hospital. Main outcome measures Primary outcome: Stress level. Secondary outcome: Fatigue severity and coping styles. Results Stress scores in the intervention group decreased significantly at week 8 and week 12 (p Conclusion The results indicated that Progressive Muscle Relaxation combined with music appears to be effective in decreasing stress and fatigue, and in improving the coping styles amongst intensive care nurses. Future studies should be conducted on a larger scale to make conclusions with higher probability.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation yoga stretching and abc Relaxation theory
Journal of Clinical Psychology, 2004Co-Authors: Shahyad Ghoncheh, Jonathan C. SmithAbstract:This study compared the psychological effects of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) and yoga stretching (hatha) exercises. Forty participants were randomly divided into two groups and taught PMR or yoga stretching exercises. Both groups practiced once a week for five weeks and were given the Smith Relaxation States Inventory before and after each session. As hypothesized, practitioners of PMR displayed higher levels of Relaxation states (R-States) Physical Relaxation and Disengagement at Week 4 and higher levels of Mental Quiet and Joy as a posttraining aftereffect at Week 5. Contrary to what was hypothesized, groups did not display different levels of R-States Energized or Aware. Results suggest the value of supplementing traditional somatic conceptualizations of Relaxation with the psychological approach embodied in ABC Relaxation theory. Clinical and research implications are discussed.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation, breathing exercises, and ABC Relaxation theory
Journal of Clinical Psychology, 2001Co-Authors: Mia Matsumoto, Jonathan C. SmithAbstract:This study compared the psychological effects of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) and breathing exercises. Forty-two students were divided randomly into two groups and taught PMR or breathing exercises. Both groups practiced for five weeks and were given the Smith Relaxation States Inventory before and after each session. As hypothesized, PMR practitioners displayed greater increments in Relaxation states (R-States) Physical Relaxation and Disengagement, while breathing practitioners displayed higher levels of R-State Strength and Awareness. Slight differences emerged at Weeks 1 and 2; major differences emerged at Weeks 4 and 5. A delayed and potentially reinforcing aftereffect emerged for PMR only after five weeks of training--increased levels of Mental Quiet and Joy. Clinical and theoretical implications are discussed.
