The response to pain varies from child to child depending on the level of development or age of the child.

Relaxation therapy is widely used in everyday life to be able to overcome various problems such as stress, muscle tension, pain, respiratory problems, and others.

Results: From the results of the paired T-test, it was found that P value p: 0.013 <0.05, which means significant or there is an influence of Slow Deep Breathing therapy on pain intensity in children undergoing circumcision.
