Both biofeedback and relaxation sustain BP reductions; extends RCT support for behavioral interventions in essential hypertension.
Does biofeedback on arterial pulse-wave velocity reduce blood pressure compared to progressive relaxation in subjects with essential hypertension?
Biofeedback and progressive relaxation are both effective behavioral interventions for long-term blood pressure reduction in patients with essential hypertension.
