Why the study?
Anxiety is a risk factor for prehypertension, and non-pharmacologic methods like exercise and relaxation can relieve anxiety; this study assessed the cardiopulmonary effects of diaphragmatic breathing alone versus combined with Jacobson relaxation technique.
Does Jacobson relaxation technique combined with diaphragmatic breathing exercise improve cardiopulmonary parameters compared to diaphragmatic breathing exercise alone in pre-hypertensive patients?
Does Jacobson relaxation technique combined with diaphragmatic breathing exercise improve cardiopulmonary parameters compared to diaphragmatic breathing exercise alone in pre-hypertensive patients?
Diaphragmatic breathing exercises may significantly affect cardiopulmonary parameters in pre-hypertensive patients.
