title: [Efficacy of relaxation techniques in different clinical situations].
abstract: Relaxation techniques have been investigated by psychological and medical literature for dozen of years. During these years, relaxation techniques have provided an increasingly perception of efficacy toward health professionals, in the promotion of psychological and physical well-being and in the reduction of stress-related pathologies. This review tries to summarize clinical contexts and situations where the efficacy of relaxation has been investigated. Limits and counter-indications of relaxation training are also discussed.
