Abstract :

The aim of the study to assess and compare the eathing exercise and applied relaxation on menopausal problems among 30 women was done in selected urban area. 15 women in experimental group I and 15 women in experimental group II were selected using stratified sampling technique. Menopausal problems were assessed for experimental group I at 4th and 8th week and 8th and 12th week for experimental group II by using modified menopausal rating scale. In experimental group I (eathing exercise) mean 34.87 (SD =13.6), Mean 26.13 (SD= 13.7) at 4th and 8th week. In the experimental group II (applied relaxation) Mean 31.27 (SD = 11.7), Mean 22.33 (SD=10.6) at 8th and 12th week .The study concluded that that the eathing exercises and applied relaxation was effective on menopausal problems independently. On comparison of these two techniques researcher found that the applied relaxation had more effective than the eathing exercises
