Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of Benson's muscle relaxation on postoperative spinal anesthesia-induced pain. Randomized clinical trial. Sixty-four patients were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. Benson's muscle relaxation was performed on the intervention group for 10 to 20 minutes based on the patients' tolerance. Before and after the intervention, the two groups were assessed using the visual analog scale and compared. SPSS version 23 was used to analyze data. The mean pain score in the control group before and after the intervention was 5.34 and 5.62, respectively (P < .003), and in the intervention group, 5.28 and 4.03, respectively (P < .001). Benson's relaxation technique effectively influenced the intensity of postoperative spinal anesthesia-induced pain. Therefore, it can be used by nurses as a safe, simple, and inexpensive nonmedicinal treatment method to relieve spinal anesthesia-induced pain.
