Abstract: 

A study to evaluate the effectiveness of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) on perceived stress among adolescent girls with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in selected schools of Ludhiana, Punjab. The objectives of the study were to assess the level of perceived stress among adolescent girls with polycystic ovary syndrome before and after progressive muscle relaxation in the experimental and control group and to evaluate the effectiveness of progressive muscle relaxation on perceived stress among adolescent girls with polycystic ovary syndrome. Method: A quantitative research approach, a pretest-posttest control group research design was used. 50 subjects were selected for the pilot study using the probability sampling technique. The present study revealed that in the experimental group, the perceived stress level was reduced from moderate to mild levels i.e., 36.0% to 16% and 08.0% in posttest-1 and posttest- 2 respectively. It was concluded that the level of perceived stress among adolescent girls with polycystic ovary syndrome was reduced after progressive muscle relaxation and was statistically significant at P<0.001 level.
