Long-term effect of relaxation on blood pressure and anxiety levels of essential hypertensive males: a controlled study

LR Bali

The long-term effect of relaxation in lowering blood pressure and anxiety was evaluated in this study. Eighteen male Caucasian essential hypertensives with moderate elevations in blood pressure were studied. Relaxation significantly reduced both blood pressure and anxiety. Control procedures had no significant effect. The reductions lasted for 12 months after training. However, there was no statistical relationship between reduction in blood pressure and anxiety.
