Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Progressive Muscle Relaxation Exercises

Visual Analogue Scale scores will decrease after progressive muscle relaxation exercises. The highest score that can be obtained from the visual analog scale is 10 and the lowest 0. As the higher score is obtained, the patient's pain will increase, and the result is evaluated as bad.

Time frame
12 months
2

Progressive Muscle Relaxation Exercises

Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire will decrease after progressive muscle relaxation exercises.There will be a total score between 0-24. A high score indicates severe disability.

Time frame
12 months
