EFFECTIVENESS OF BENSON THERAPEUTIC THERAPY AND BIORESONANCE ON ISFURS REDUCTION AND INCREASING OVULATION IN INFERTILE WOMEN COMPARED TO DRUG THERAPY

Stress impacts reproductive efficacy; therefore, the present study was aimed to
determine the effectiveness of Benson relaxation technique on reducing the stress of infertility in women
along with drug therapy to increase ovulation.
Materials & Methods: This study was conducted on women referring to clinics of
Khorramabad city in 2017. The subjects were selected randomly and were divided into two
groups of control and test. Entry requirements were: infertility over one year, aged 18-34
years, no history of sedation, no infertility cause except anovulation. The data collection
tools were Fertility problem inventory-FPI (Newton et al, 1999) and ultrasonography of
ovaries. Both groups received Letrozole 2.5 mg; and pre-test and posttest were taken either.
Data analysis was performed by SPSS 21 software using one-variable covariance analysis
(P<0.05).
Result: The dominant follicle formation in the test group was more than the control group. Also,
comparison of stress scores between two groups after intervention showed a significant difference
between two groups (p <0.05).
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, Benson relaxation method decreased stress and
increased ovulation. Therefore, fertility scientists are recommended to apply Benson relaxation method
as an adjunctive therapy beside drug therapy to get desired outcomes
