Effects of progressive muscle relaxation therapy on Maintenance hemodialysis patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Journal Title: TMR Integrative Medicine - Year 2021, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of progressive relaxation therapy on patients with maintenance hemodialysis. Methods: A literature search was performed using PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang Data from inception to July 2020. Randomized controlled trials on the use of progressive muscle relaxation therapy in maintenance hemodialysis patients were selected. The primary outcomes were the depression and anxiety. Secondary outcomes included fatigue and sleep. Two reviewers proceeded study selection and quality assessment of included trials and performed heterogeneity of included studies before meta-analysis. Results: A total of 8 studies, which comprised a total of 668 participants were included in the final meta-analysis. The results showed that progressive muscle relaxation therapy could reduce the depression of patients (MD = -5.11, 95% CI: -6.74 to -3.48, P < 0.001), reduce the anxiety (SMD = -1.27, 95% CI: -1.73 to -0.82, P < 0.001), relieve fatigue symptoms (MD = -0.87, 95% CI: -1.20 to -0.53, P < 0.001 ), improve the sleep quality (MD = -1.69, 95% CI: -1.95 to -1.42, P < 0.001 ). Conclusion: Progressive muscle relaxation therapy has positive effects on depression, anxiety, fatigue and sleep quality in patients with maintenance hemodialysis. While concurrent evidence is insufficient, and further studies of high quality are needed to strengthen the conclusion.
