Comparative Study of Laura Mitchell’s Physiological Relaxation Technique Versus Jacobson’s Progressive Relaxation Technique on Severity of Pain And Quality of Life in Primary Dysmenorrhea: Randomized Clinical Trial
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Aim: To Evaluate which relaxation technique is more effective on severity of pain and quality of life in primary dysmenorrhea. Objectives: To compare the effect of Laura Mitchell’s physiological versus Jacobson’s progressive relaxation technique on severity of pain and quality of life in primary dysmenorrhea. To study the effect of Laura Mitchell’s physiological and Jacobson’s progressive relaxation technique on severity of pain and quality of life in primary dysmenorrhea. Methods: Two groups were made consisting of group A(n=17) and group B(n=17) under the age of 18to 22 years with primary dysmenorrhea and were randomly assigned to the study. Moos menstrual distress questionnaire (MMDQ) was used as screening tool and Numeric pain rating scale to assess severity of pain and quality of life scale by American chronic pain association to assess quality of life were administered pre intervention and post intervention. Group A was given Laura Mitchell`s physiological relaxation technique and Group B was given Jacobson`s progressive relaxation technique for 30 minutes twice a day for two consecutive cycles. Result: Significant decrease in the intensity of pain was seen in group Aas compared to group B and significant improvement of quality of life was seen in group B as compared to group A. Conclusion: Laura Mitchell’s physiological relaxation technique was more effective in reducing severity of pain and Jacobson’s progressive relaxation technique was more effective in improving quality of life in primary dysmenorrhea. Both the relaxation techniques improved quality of life and reduced absenteeism and stress levels and it is easy, cheap and has no side effects
