Aims: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease has increased over the past years. It occurs when liver cells begin to collect fat droplets. Liver enzymes are the best indicator for assessing liver status. The incidence of this disease in women is higher than in men, although opposite results have been reported. The effect of mental and muscle relaxation in water was investigated to evaluate changes in liver enzymes, inflammatory markers, and C-reactive protein of Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients.
Materials & Methods: This was a randomized clinical trial with a pretest-posttest and follow-up with the control group. Liver enzymes and inflammatory markers, including IL-6 and CRP, were measured before and after mental and muscle relaxation. The data was analyzed using an independent samples t-test, a paired t-test, and a two-way mixed ANOVA (repeated measures). Also, the correlation test was used to evaluate the correlation between age and FBS and liver enzymes.
Findings: There were significant reductions in measured indices (FBS, AST, ALT, ALP, IL-6, and CRP) within the treatment group in comparison with the control group (p<0.05). Also, there were significant differences in means of AST (p<0.001), ALT (p<0.002), ALP (p=0.021), IL-6 (p<0.001), and CRP (p=0.019) between the two groups after mental and muscle relaxation in water.
Conclusion: Mental and muscle relaxation in the water significantly improved and reduced the symptoms of NAFLD patients.
