About

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.

40 participants in 2 patient groups

"TRE Exercise Group"

Experimental group

Description:

Participants in this group will perform supervised Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercise (TRE) sessions in addition to their usual medical treatment for hypertension. The TRE sessions will be conducted three times per week for eight weeks, and each session will last approximately 30 minutes. The exercises aim to promote relaxation, reduce tension, and improve sleep quality, and quality of life.

Treatment:

Behavioral: Tension and trauma releasing exercises

"Control Group"

No Intervention group

Description:

Participants in this group will continue their usual medical treatment for hypertension without any additional exercise intervention. They will receive the same assessments for sleep quality, and quality of life as the experimental group.
