简要总结
This study applied a randomized parallel case-controlled design. The study purpose was to evaluate the effects of progressive muscle relaxation on anxiety, psychiatric symptoms and quality of life among patients with chronic schizophrenia compared with an active control.
详细描述
Background: Anti-psychotic drugs are limited in their ability to improve psychiatric symptoms, quality of life, and anxiety status in patients with chronic schizophrenia. Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) can potentially reduce anxiety status and improve subjective welling in acute patients. It is an ideal rehabilitation intervention for patients with chronic schizophrenia. However, no study has investigated the effects of PMR on outcomes among patients with chronic schizophrenia.
Design: This study applied a randomized parallel case-controlled design.
Methods: Hospital-based randomized control trial in Taiwan. Eighty subjects with chronic schizophrenia were recruited from a psychotic ward and randomized into PMR, or control groups. Patients in the intervention group participated in progressive muscle relaxation for 12 weeks; while patients in the control group members received supportive treatment-as-usual (TAU). All participants completed anxiety, psychotic syndromes and quality of life measures at baseline, 3-month, and 3-month follow-up.

结局指标
主要结局
Quality of life simplified Chinese versions of the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire were used
时间窗: Measuring changes in quality of life from baseline to 6 months.
a 28-item questionnaire rated on a five-point Likert scale with four domains measuring: psychological health, physical health, social relationships and environment.so that higher scores refer to high QOL.
次要结局
- Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS)(measured at baseline, 3-month, and 3-month follow-up)
- Anxiety Scale(measured at baseline, 3-month, and 3-month follow-up)
