Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Tension and trauma releasing exercises

Tension and trauma releasing exercises: Tension and trauma releasing exercises will be conducted for study group only as follows: The exercises start by slightly fatiguing specific muscle groups to encourage this involuntary shaking, which is considered healthy and calming. The first exercise: Feet roll gently outward while shifting weight side to side, helping release ankle tension. The second exercise: One foot steps back while the front heel lifts until the calf feels lightly tired, triggering a small shake. The third exercise: A small lunge-like position engages the thighs and hips, leading to natural muscle release. The fourth exercise: A soft bend at the hips with relaxed arms and deep breathing stretches the back and encourages loosening. The fifth exercise: With feet wide and hands on the lower back, the hips push forward slightly while breathing deeply and turning gently side to side. The sixth exercise: The body slides into a seated position against a wall to lightly fatigue the

Study summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) on the quality of life and sleep in hypertensive patients. Participants will perform a series of supervised TRE sessions, and their sleep quality, and quality of life will be assessed before and after the intervention to determine any potential improvements related to the exercise.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Quality of life ,assessed by SF12 — Baseline and after 8 weeks of intervention
    Change in SF-12 physical and mental component summary scores from baseline to 8 weeks.
  • Sleep quality, assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). — Baseline and 8 weeks after the start of the intervention
    Change in global PSQI score from baseline to 8 weeks. PSQI will be administered to assess sleep quality .
