Tools: Data was collected through two main tools; I-A structured interviewing questionnaire, II-The short-form McGill pain questionnaire. Results: A statistically significant difference was observed in pain intensity between two groups after application of Benson relaxation technique at the four phases (p< 0.05) as pain intensity decreased in the study group more than the control group. Conclusion: Practicing of Benson's relaxation technique had a positive effect on reducing the intensity of post cesarean section pain among primipara women.
