The Effect of Progressive Relaxation Exercise Performed Before Coronary Angiography on Anxiety, Comfort, Pain, and Physiological Parameters: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Progressive relaxation exercise administered to patients undergoing coronary angiography decreased anxiety and pain levels and increased comfort levels. We recommend that progressive relaxation exercise, which is easy to implement, does not require invasive procedures, and is economically beneficial, be integrated into nursing care practices and its use be widespread.
