Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of relaxation interventions for reducing stress in patients with psychotic disorders, drawing on data from 24 studies involving 1,292 participants. The authors report small to moderate effects on general, positive, and negative symptoms, though no significant reduction in stress was observed overall. Subgroup analyses indicate that outpatient and rehabilitative settings may yield greater benefits than inpatient settings, with no reported adverse effects.
