title: Progressive muscle relaxation and secretory immunoglobulin A.
abstract: 30 healthy students produced saliva samples for Immunoglobulin A assay before and after sessions involving either progressive muscle relaxation (n = 15) or a control condition (n = 15). Levels of immunoglobulin A increased significantly in the relaxation group but not in the control group.
