Purpose: Approximately 30-70% of patients with cancer reportedly experience insomnia-induced pain. Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) is a widely used relaxation technique to help people experiencing insomnia. However, PMR involves an added burden for patients with cancer as their disease progresses. Therefore, the authors created a simple PMR. This study assessed improvement in sleep quality associated with simple PMR for patients with cancer.
