The neuropharmacological activities of these lipophilic cyclic analogues (11 19) were assessed for their effects on motor activity, muscle relaxation, pain relief and impaired cognition, by intraperitoneal administration at a dose of 3 mg/kg with reference to those of baclofen 1.

In addition to anxiety and mood disorders, EGP have been developed to enhance psycho-education, attitude change, relaxation, pain management, social skills, problem-solving skills, emotional modulation, self-control skills, motivation, and therapist-client interaction [ 34].
RELAXATION THERAPY -- Complementary techniques include guided imagery, a form of self-hypnosis in which the patient visualizes positive images to ease pain; progressive muscle relaxation, in which the patient tenses, holds and then releases muscle groups; and meditation, in which the patient tries to clear the mind by focusing on a word or sound.
