Abstract: This study investigates the effectiveness of Benson's Relaxation Technique in reducing pain levels among post-cesarean mothers admitted to selected hospitals in Mehsana District. Using a quasi-experimental design, 60 primiparous post-cesarean mothers aged 21-35 were divided into experimental and control groups, with 30 participants in each group. The experimental group received Benson's Relaxation Technique, a structured meditation-based intervention, for 10 minutes twice daily over three days. Pain levels were assessed using the Modified Comfort Behaviour Pain Scale pre- and post-intervention. Results indicated a significant reduction in pain levels in the experimental group compared to the control group, with 76.66% of the experimental group reporting no pain post-intervention, while the majority of the control group continued to experience mild to moderate pain. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant difference in pain reduction between the groups (t = 20.97, p < 0.001).
