ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how progressive relaxation exercises can improve sleep quality in patients with heart conditions who have trouble sleeping. Researchers want to see if these exercises can positively affect levels of important substances in the body, like serotonin and melatonin, which help regulate sleep. The trial will involve 60 patients who are being treated for heart issues, such as heart failure or angina, and will take place over several months. Participants will be divided into two groups: one group will do the relaxation exercises for three days, while the other group will not.

To be eligible for this study, participants must be at least 18 years old, have reported sleep problems, and have a specific score on a sleep scale. They should also be able to provide urine samples and be staying in the hospital for at least four days. Participants can expect to undergo some assessments before and after the relaxation exercises to measure their sleep quality and the levels of serotonin and melatonin in their bodies. It’s important to note that only those who meet all the criteria and don’t have any sudden health changes will be included in the study.
