Do relaxation and systolic blood pressure biofeedback reduce blood pressure in borderline hypertensive patients?
Behavioral interventions including relaxation and systolic blood pressure biofeedback can effectively lower blood pressure acutely and sustain reductions over at least 6 months in borderline hypertensive patients.
Glasgow et al. (1982) studied this question.
