Summary
This study tests whether progressive muscle relaxation exercises can reduce depression and fatigue in people receiving hemodialysis. Sixty patients will practice these relaxation techniques, and researchers will measure changes in their mood and energy levels. The goal is to see if this simple, non-drug method can improve emotional well-being as part of routine care.
