The patients were randomly assigned to three groups (60 patients in each group): the Benson relaxation group, the progressive relaxation group, and the control group. Patients in the Benson relaxation and progressive relaxation groups were instructed to perform the exercises twice: once on the first day after surgery and once on the second day after surgery. The control group did not perform any exercises. Pain intensity and sleep quality were assessed at baseline (on the first day after surgery, before the exercise) and re\u2010assessed on the second and third days after surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Significant differences were observed between the groups in pain scores on postoperative Days 1, 2, and 3 (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05).
