Autogenic Training

04/01/1982 - "Primary disorders have an autonomous function in the central nervous system while secondary disorders can result from depression, pain, anxiety, lifestyle change, etc. Secondary disorders are most likely to be improved by hypnotherapeutic techniques, which include progressive relaxation and ego-strengthening."
10/01/2020 - "Both Benson relaxation and progressive muscle relaxation resulted in a significant reduction in pain severity in comparison with the control group at all three measurement times (except at time 1 in the progressive muscle relaxation group). "
11/08/2006 - "Children who learned guided imagery with progressive muscle relaxation had significantly greater decrease in the number of days with pain than those learning breathing exercises alone after one (67% vs. 21%, P = 0.05), and two (82% vs. 45%, P < 0.01) months and significantly greater decrease in days with missed activities at one (85% vs. 15%, P = 0.02) and two (95% vs. 77%. "
09/01/2010 - "We present results of a pilot study examining the effect of a 6-week combined abbreviated progressive relaxation technique (APRT) and guided imagery (GI) intervention for the management of chronic pain (N=19) and, using power analysis, explore recommended sample sizes for future clinical trials. "
01/01/2021 - "For patients with LBP during pregnancy, progressive muscle relaxation therapy and Kinesio Taping may help to decrease pain, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation may improve physical function. "

03/01/2003 - "Significant reduction in frequency was achieved in patients with migraine only from the third month of autogenic training. "
08/01/2001 - "Contrary conformity of the agreed therapy for pharmacological treatment of migraine attacks and interval therapy of migraine by progressive muscle relaxation with the recommended therapy improved significantly. "
12/01/1979 - "With the exception of medication consumption (for which relaxation training led to better long-term results) the 1-year follow-up data reveal no differential efficacy for temperature biofeedback or progressive relaxation in treating migraine headaches."
12/01/1979 - "In a previous controlled group outcome study, a comparison of temperature biofeedback with progressive relaxation indicated that relaxation training was more effective in reducing migraine headache activity at the end of treatment. "
04/01/1976 - "The results of this study indicate that finger temperature warming, without autogenic training, is effective in reducing migraine activity, independent of suggestion effects."

01/01/2023 - "The study concludes that both Progressive relaxation technique and Benson's technique are equally effective in reducing anxiety and PRT lowers fatigue more effectively than Benson's technique in cancer survivors."
10/01/2019 - "The results indicated that progressive muscle relaxation combined with music appears to be effective in decreasing stress and fatigue, and in improving the coping styles amongst intensive care nurses. "
04/01/2010 - "The progressive muscle relaxation group experienced a greater increase in improved sleep quality and a greater decrease in fatigue than the control group. "
01/01/2023 - "Comparative effect of progressive relaxation technique and Benson's technique on anxiety and fatigue in cancer survivors - an experimental study."
01/01/2022 - "This randomized controlled study was conducted to evaluate the effects of progressive relaxation exercises on vital signs and fatigue level. "

06/01/2006 - "There is no consistent evidence to suggest that autogenic training is superior to other interventions for prevention of tension headaches, or different from other forms of relaxation. "
08/01/1990 - "The purpose of this study is to assess if EMG biofeedback training with progressive muscle relaxation training is effective in reducing the EMG level in patients with tension headaches. "
06/01/2006 - "To determine from the published evidence whether autogenic training as sole therapy is effective for prevention of tension-type headaches in adults. "
06/01/2006 - "Autogenic training for tension type headaches: a systematic review of controlled trials."
11/01/1992 - "This study compares autogenic training and training in multiple self-hypnosis strategies in a sample of 56 patients diagnosed as having chronic tension headache on the basis of medical evaluation by a neurologist. "

08/01/2001 - "Effectivity of headache treatment in primary health care could not be improved by communication of evidence-based recommended therapy to primary care physicians nor by direct information of patients about these recommendations in combination with provided availability to learn progressive muscle relaxation."
09/01/1998 - "The relative efficacy of EMG-frontalis feedback and progressive relaxation was examined in children with tension-type or combined headaches (8-14 yrs. "
07/01/1992 - "The present study investigated the efficacy of progressive relaxation exercises in reducing headache complaints, particularly those headaches of a mixed variety. "
08/01/2018 - "The reviewed studies varied in characteristics of subjects, length of autogenic training and practice, use of adjunct therapies, and use of headache measures. "
06/01/2006 - "Further studies should investigate the use of standard autogenic training in patients with moderate headache."
