This study finds insignificant difference among the participants with respect to their different sociodemographic profile. However, there is highly significant difference with regard to anxiety level on pre state anxiety (Mean±SD=54.233±5.073, p value= 0.000) and post state anxiety (Mean±SD=49.93±5.601, p value= 0.000).Likewise, there is highly significant difference with regard to anxiety level on pre trait anxiety (Mean±SD=51.50±6.317, p value= 0.000) and post trait anxiety (Mean±SD=47.93±5.86, p value= 0.000). This study finds that medication along with relaxation therapy is more effective than medication alone in treatment of anxiety patients.
