Summary

Objective of our study is to determine the comparative effects of Pranayama and Jacobson's Relaxation Technique on cardiovascular parameters, stress and quality of life in Pre-hypertensive patients.

This study is used to determine the effects of Pranayama versus Jacobson's Progressive Muscle Relaxation Technique on cardiorespiratory parameters, stress and quality of life in pre-hypertensive patients.

This randomized clinical trial (RCT) endeavors to enroll \_\_\_ participants, divided equally into Pranayama and Jacobson's Progressive Muscle Relaxation Technique groups. The non-probability convenient sampling technique, followed by random allocation using a lottery method, ensures a diverse yet unbiased sample. Study is being conducted at the Kashmir Medical Complex Sialkot.

The Pranayama group(n=25) undergoes sessions three times a week, emphasizing breathing techniques like alternate nostril technique and bellow breathing.

The Jacobson's Progressive Muscle Relaxation Technique group(n=25) follows a similar schedule, engaging in full-body relaxation exercises targeting major muscle groups. Parameters will be assessed on 1st day, 3rd week and 8th week by outcome measures, SPSS version 23 will be used for analysis.
