Relaxation and Quran recitation for dialysis patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Kidney & urinary, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two simple techniques—autogenic relaxation (a form of deep relaxation) and listening to Quran recitation (Murottal)—to see if they help people on dialysis feel calmer and more comfortable. You might benefit if you are on regular dialysis and are looking for a non-drug way to reduce stress.
