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

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.
