background: cardiac syndrome x is a relatively common disorder, and still not much is known about the causative factors or its pathophysiology, which makes it difficult to cure. due to its chronic nature and debilitating symptoms, many patients have significantly reduced quality of life (qol).the purpose of this study was to assess the impact of phase iii cardiac rehabilitation (cr) and relaxat...

background & aim: pain is a major problem after burn injury. therapeutic practices do not provide suffi-cient pain relief for patients with burn. therefore, non-pharmacological interventions such as muscle relaxa-tion and mental imagery can be effective in reducing pain. this study aimed to compare the effects of mus-cle relaxation and mental imagery techniques on pain intensity in patients wit...

In this paper, we address the issue how a computing system can coach people in doing progressive muscle relaxation exercises. Such a system could help many people in dealing with their stress-related problems like poor sleep. We develop a formal model of progressive muscle relaxation, provide examples of typical instantiations of the model and identify how different coaching activities have the...

Research suggests that multiple forms of relaxation training (e.g., progressive muscle relaxation, meditation, breathing exercises, visualization, and autogenics) can help individuals reduce stress, enhance states, improve overall well-being. We examined three different, commonly used approaches to stress relaxation—progressive deep breathing, guided imagery—and evaluated them in a head-to-head...
