简要总结
This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the efficacy of Progressive Muscle Relaxation Training (PMRT) in individuals who developed Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) following the February 6 Kahramanmaraş earthquake.
详细描述
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an often devastating psychiatric condition that can occur in people who experience or witness a traumatic event.The estimated lifetime prevalence of PTSD is reported to be 6.8%.While trauma-focused psychotherapy is generally the first-line treatment in PTSD management, pharmacological treatments (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) are recommended in second-line treatment.Additionally, various physiotherapy and rehabilitation approaches such as aerobic, respiratory, relaxation, stretching, balance and strengthening exercises can also be used.Progressive muscle relaxation training increases parasympathetic nervous system activity. This is said to reduce anxiety and stress levels and improve sleep quality, resulting in physical and mental relaxation.

结局指标
主要结局
PTSD Checklist (PCL-5) questionnaire
时间窗: Change from baseline at 6 weeks
This is a 20-question questionnaire, valid and reliable in Turkish, that assesses PTSD symptoms as defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Questions are scored from 0 to 4, and the total score ranges from 0 to 80. A score of 47 or higher indicates the presence of PTSD.
Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21)
时间窗: Change from baseline at 6 weeks
It assesses an individual's condition over the past week. It is a 21-question survey consisting of three subscales: depression, anxiety, and stress. A high score on the scale indicates the presence and severity of depression, anxiety, and stress.
次要结局
- Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS)(Change from baseline at 6 weeks)
- Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)(Change from baseline at 6 weeks)
- Short Form-36 (SF-36) questionnaire(Change from baseline at 6 weeks)
