First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a six-week home program combining music with progressive muscle relaxation could improve sleep, fatigue, emotional symptoms, and quality of life in 20 sedentary obese women. Participants did the exercises on their own using phone apps. The goal was to see if this low-cost, non-drug approach could help manage common health issues in this group.
