Objective: Based on previous researches, we developed a new relaxation method and tested its effects on reducing anxiety and analgesia. Methods: Ninety-three College students participated in this study, and were randomly divided into 3 groups:the intermittent breath relaxation group(n=31), the music relaxation group(n=31), and the control group(n=31). The participants were asked to complete the Trait Anxiety Inventory and Pain Catastrophizing scale, and then received 20 min of intermittent breath training, music relaxation training, and just-waiting period, respectively. After that, all participants performed two behavioral tasks:Mental Arithmetic Test and Cold Pressure Test. Mental arithmetic induced stress and cold water induced pain were measured to evaluate the effectiveness of relaxation training. Stress-related questionnaires were also filled in after the behavioral tests. Results: After the training, the state anxiety scores of both relaxation groups were significant lower than that of the control group(28.76±5.08 vs. 36.66±7.44,P<0.001; 31.41±7.94 vs. 36.66±7.44,P<0.01). Pain thresholds of the intermittent breath group were statistically higher than the other two groups(16.80±13.87 vs. 11.49±9.83,P<0.05; 16.80±13.87 vs. 8.46±4.72,P<0.001). The distress scores of the two relaxation groups were also lower than that of the control group during the recovery period in the Cold Pressure Test(1.72±1.67 vs. 3.10±2.53,P<0.01; 1.93±1.67 vs. 3.10±2.53,P<0.05). Conclusion: Short-term intermittent breath relaxation training is an effective and reliable method for reducing anxiety and promoting recovery from distress. Overall, it is better than the ordinary music relaxation method.
