IMPACT OF MUROTTAL AND MUSCLE RELAXATION THERAPY ON ANXIETY, DEPRESSION LEVELS, AND QUALITY OF SLEEP

Abstract

The current investigation is aimed at exploring the effects of Murrotal therapy
along with a combination of progressive muscle relaxation techniques on the
quality of sleep, depression, and anxiety levels. To measure anxiety and
depression the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used. To
assess the quality of sleep the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was
used. Two groups of individuals/patients were taken from the local hospital in
Peshawar. One group was undergoing Murrotal therapy along with muscle
relaxation. The other group was just using medications. The results of the
study indicated that for the individuals who were using Murrotal therapy
along with muscle relaxation their anxiety and depression levels were
decreased.
