This study aimed to determine the effect of PMR therapy on pain levels in elderly people with RA at the South Kota Community Health Center. The method used was a pre-experimental approach with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The results showed that before PMR therapy, most respondents experienced moderate pain (24 respondents (77.4%) and severe pain (7 respondents (22.6%). After PMR therapy, pain levels decreased, with most respondents experiencing moderate pain (18 respondents (58.1%) and mild pain (13 respondents (41.9%). The bivariate analysis showed a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating a significant effect of PMR therapy on pain levels in elderly people with RA. In conclusion, Progressive Muscle Relaxation therapy is effective as a non-pharmacological intervention in reducing pain levels in elderly people with Rheumatoid Arthritis at the South Kota Community Health Center.
