Implication

Randomized trial reduced anxiety levels in patients before coronary artery angiography, indicating both techniques are effective.

Key Points

  • Jacobson and Benson relaxation techniques significantly reduced anxiety in patients before coronary artery angiography.
  • State anxiety levels dropped 11.06 in Jacobson relaxation and 9.69 in Benson relaxation, contrasting with 0.13 in routine care.
  • The research utilized a triple-blind randomized clinical trial approach with 96 patients undergoing coronary artery angiography.
  • Both relaxation techniques show effectiveness, suggesting clinical choices may depend on patient needs rather than method superiority.
