Key result
Lifestyle interventions lower systolic BP by up to ~12 mmHg in hypertensive patients.
Why the study?
Non-pharmacological interventions are recommended for hypertension treatment, but their specific impact on blood pressure control needed systematic evaluation across randomized controlled trials.
Do non-pharmacological interventions reduce blood pressure in patients with hypertension?
Population
Hypertension patients across 10 included randomized controlled trials
Comparison
Non-pharmacological interventions vs control

Non-pharmacological interventions merit routine integration into hypertension care; confirms clinically meaningful SBP reductions across modalities.
Systematic Review (n=1,462)
Do non-pharmacological interventions reduce blood pressure in patients with hypertension?
Non-pharmacological interventions, including diet, exercise, and multicomponent strategies, achieve clinically meaningful reductions in blood pressure, with adherence being a critical factor for success.
Ballut et al. (2023) conducted a systematic review in Hypertension (n=1,462). Non-pharmacological interventions (dietary modifications, exercise, behavioral therapies) vs. Control was evaluated on Blood pressure (Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure). Non-pharmacological interventions, including dietary modifications and exercise, achieved clinically meaningful reductions in systolic blood pressure ranging from 3.8 to 12 mmHg in patients with hypertension.
