Study Description

The effectiveness of Jacobson's progressive muscle relaxation technique on maternal, fetal, and neonatal outcomes in women with non-severe preeclampsiain have been studied in an RCT study. Pregnant women who use this technique experience reduced muscle tension and a sense of calm. in one of the study The Effect of Relaxation Techniques on Blood Pressure and Stress Among Pregnant Women with Mild Pregnancy Induced Hypertension were investigated in which Women with mild pregnancy-induced hypertension who used relaxation techniques saw significant improvements in their knowledge, physiological parameters, and blood pressure as well as a reduction in stress.

To the best of the researcher's knowledge, no comparative study has been done to yet to evaluate the efficacy of relaxation and stretching exercise. There is not enough data to determine whether Jacobson's relaxation techniques and stretching exercise reduce preeclampsia in pregnant women. As a result, this study will contribute to the expanding body of knowledge about which approach should be used as an alternative if results from other procedures are comparable
