        abstract = {Objective of the study: - To assess and compare the pre-test level of pain among post-cesarean mothers in the study and control group. To assess and compare the post-test level of pain among post-cesarean mothers in the study and control group. To determine the effectiveness of Jacobson’s Progressive Muscle Relaxation (JPMR) technique on pain management among post-cesarean mothers in the study group. To associate the pre-test and post-test level of pain among post-cesarean mothers with their selected demographic and obstetrical variables in both study and control groups.
Methods: - A true experimental pre-test and post-test control group design was adopted. Fifty post-caesarean mothers were selected using purposive sampling and allocated to experimental (n=25) and control (n=25) groups. 
Results: - The experimental group showed a significant reduction in pain scores post-intervention (mean = 0.48) compared to the control group (mean=1.16).
Conclusion: - Jacobson’s Muscle Relaxation Technique is effective, safe, and non-invasive for reducing post- caesarean Pain. Its integration into routine postnatal care can enhance maternal recovery and reduce analgesic dependency.},
