PMR significantly reduced systolic (by 24.54 mmHg) and diastolic (by 16.54 mmHg) blood pressure from baseline (p=0.000), but there was no significant difference in post-intervention blood pressure between the PMR and control groups.

Why the study?

Hypertension is a leading cause of death requiring nonpharmacological therapies like stress management, motivating an evaluation of progressive muscle relaxation on blood pressure reduction.

Does progressive muscle relaxation reduce blood pressure in patients with hypertension?

Population

52 hypertensive patients

Comparison

Progressive muscle relaxation vs control group

Design

Quasi-experimental pretest and posttest design with a control group

Overview

Does not support PMR superiority over control; leaves open adjunctive role pending randomized trials.

Structured PICO

Does progressive muscle relaxation reduce blood pressure in patients with hypertension?

P
Population
52 patients with hypertension
I

Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR)
C

O
Outcome
Reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressuresurrogate

Progressive muscle relaxation reduces blood pressure from baseline in hypertensive patients, though it did not show a statistically significant difference compared to the control group post-intervention.
