Summary

This study looks at whether progressive muscle relaxation exercises can improve sleep, reduce anxiety, and help body image in people with burn injuries. About 100 adults with second-degree burns will either do these exercises twice daily for a week or receive standard care. The goal is to see if this simple, drug-free method supports recovery and emotional well-being.
