Entrenamiento en Relajación en pacientes con Trastorno de Ansiedad Generalizada: Una Revisión Bibliográfica

This Master’s Thesis presents a literature review on the effectiveness of relaxation training techniques in patients with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). It analyzes both recent and classical studies that evaluate the application of different relaxation modalities —diaphragmatic breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, mindfulness, and autogenic training— in reducing anxiety symptoms, as well as their role in improving overall well-being.

The results show that relaxation techniques are an effective, low-cost, and easily applicable tool in clinical practice, although the literature highlights the need for long-term comparative studies with larger samples.

This work aims to provide an updated synthesis that facilitates the integration of relaxation strategies into the psychological intervention of GAD, reinforcing the importance of an evidence-based approach.
