Simple relaxation trick may help surgery patients sleep better
NCT ID NCT06980558
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether progressive relaxation exercises—like deep breathing and tensing then relaxing muscles—could improve sleep quality in people recovering from urological surgery. Only 2 patients took part, and they were asked to do the exercises before bed. The researchers measured sleep quality using a standard sleep scale. Because the study is very small, the results are not conclusive, but it suggests a possible low-cost way to help patients rest better after surgery.
