Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted to find the effects of autogenic training on blood pressure and anxiety in females having pre-eclampsia, the data will be collected from National Hospital and Sofia clinic via sphygmomanometer and DASS-21 scale. Sample size of 26 females is taken. Non probability convenient sampling will be used. A written consent form will be taken from participants meeting inclusion criteria and will be randomly allocated into two groups through lo1.ttery method to either Group A or Group B. Treatment will be given 3 times per week for 4 weeks. Sphygmomanometer will be used to check the blood pressure reading and DASS-21 questionnaire will be used to access anxiety in the females. All participants in both groups will be evaluated before and after the treatment program. Total duration of the study will be ten months. Data will be analyzed by using SPSS 21.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Autogenic training
It consists of patients who will receive autogenic training and conventional treatment with the frequency of 3 times per week for 4 weeks.
Autogenic training
Relaxation procedures will be performed in the following steps: First step - preparation: Each pre-eclamptic woman will be instructed about this method of treatment and its importance for reducing blood pressure to gain her confidence and cooperation during treatment. Second step - AT: The session began with a few minutes of mental relaxation as the patient will be asked to imagine herself in a lovely place that makes her relaxed. Each session include 18 exercises combining both relaxation and auto-suggestion (limb heaviness exercise, limb warmth exercise, cardiac exercise, respiration exercise, solar plexus warmth exercise, and "forehead cooling" exercise).
About 30 sec will be allowed for each exercise and a further 30-40 sec will allowed for continuing attention focusing by the patient. Third step - termination
