Brief Summary

To find out the Effects of deep breathing exercises with and without Progressive Muscle Relaxation Technique on Post Cesarean Section low back Pain, Quality of Sleep and Physical Activity

Conditions

Cesarean Section Complications

Keywords

Cesarean section; Deep breathing excercises; Low back pain; Progressive muscle relaxation; Physical activity; Quality of sleep

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Lowback pain

  The Oswestry Disability Index also known as the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire and is an extremely important tool The test is considered the 'gold standard' of low back functional outcome tools.Most commonly used outcome-measure questionnaire for low back pain in a hospital setting. It is a self-administered questionnaire divided into ten sections designed to assess limitations of various activities of daily living.

  8 weeks

• Quality of sleep

  The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI )is a self-report questionnaire that assesses sleep quality over a 1-month time interval. The measure consists of 19 individual items, creating 7 components that produce one global score, and takes 5-10 minutes to complete.

  8 weeks

• Physical activity

  Physical activity limitation questionnaire is used to assess the limitation of physical activities due to pain after C-section. It consists of 8 items (sitting in bed, standing up, walking, performing personal hygiene, bathing, breastfeeding, eating and using a toilet) which rated as: 0= easy performed, 1= performed with difficulties, 2= performed with assistance, and 3=can't perform. The total scores ranged from 0 to 24. The women are considered to have: 0-6= No limitation of the physical activities 7-12 = Mild limitation of the physical activities 13- 18= Moderate limitation of the physical activities 19-24 = Severe limitation of the physical activities

Deep breathing excercises

EXPERIMENTAL

Deep breathing is known as diaphragmatic breathing, is a technique that is based on the notion that mind and body integration produces relaxation technique requires participants to contract the diaphragm, slowly inhaling and exhaling. Deep breathing appears to amplify blood oxygen levels, massages the inner organs located in or close to the abdomen, and possibly stimulates the vagus nerve

Deep breathing excercise and progressive muscle relaxation

EXPERIMENTAL

PMR involves participants actively contracting muscles to create tension and progressively releasing it. This routine is repeated until participants acquire complete relaxation

Deep breathing exercises +and progressive muscle relaxation techniques OTHER

Begin with a deep breathing exercise. Inhale deeply through your nose, feeling your abdomen rise as you fill your body with air. Then slowly exhale out the mouth, the navel pulling in toward the spine as you expel the stale air out. Repeat 3-5 cycles
