Key result

Warm water foot soaking lowers systolic and diastolic blood pressure in elderly stage 1 hypertension.

Why the study?

Hypertension is the most common condition in the elderly with high risk, and non-pharmacological therapies for blood pressure control need evaluation.

Does warm water foot soaking reduce blood pressure in elderly individuals with stage 1 hypertension not on medication?

Key Points

To evaluate the effect of warm water foot soaking on blood pressure reduction among elderly individuals with stage 1 hypertension who do not take antihypertensive medications.
Conducted a case study using total sampling in 4 elderly individuals aged 61 to 67 years diagnosed with stage 1 hypertension and not taking antihypertensive drugs.
Administered warm water foot soaking once daily for 15 minutes across 3 consecutive days, measuring blood pressure before and after each session with a sphygmomanometer.
Reductions in blood pressure occurred in Subject 1 from 150/90 mmHg to 140/90 mmHg and in Subject 2 from 140/90 mmHg to 130/80 mmHg over 3 days.
Subject 3 showed a blood pressure decrease from 140/90 mmHg to 140/80 mmHg, and Subject 4 decreased from 150/90 mmHg to 140/80 mmHg.

Does warm water foot soaking reduce blood pressure in elderly individuals with stage 1 hypertension not on medication?

Population

4 elderly individuals with stage 1 hypertension, not taking antihypertensive medication, followed over a 3-day intervention period.

Intervention

Warm water foot soaking applied once daily for 15 minutes over 3 consecutive days.

Outcome

Reduction in blood pressuresurrogate

Warm water foot soaking over 3 days resulted in a modest reduction of blood pressure in a small case series of elderly patients with unmedicated stage 1 hypertension.

Implication

Should not yet change practice in stage 1 hypertension; hypothesis-generating for nonpharmacologic BP reduction pending controlled trials.

Abstract

Hipertensi adalah kondisi yang paling umum dialami oleh lanjut usia, diikuti oleh penyakit Artritis, diabetes mellitus, penyakit jantung, dan stroke. Disebut sebagai "pembunuh diam-diam", hipertensi memiliki risiko tertinggi pada lanjut usia. Desain penelitian ini menggunakan desain studi kasus (case study). Subjek yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu 4 lansia hipertensi derajat 1 yang tidak mengonsumsi obat hipertensi. Sampel menggunakan total sampling. Berdasarkan hasil dari penelitian dan uraian pembahasan maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemberian rendam kaki air hangat dapat membantu menurunkan tekanan darah pada lansia dengan hipertensi, sehingga seseorang dengan hipertensi dapat melakukan terapi dan relaksasi secara alam dan mandiri dalam mengontrol tekanan darah.

Fara Aristya Prisma (2026) conducted a case report in Stage 1 Hypertension (n=4). Warm water foot soaking vs. Baseline (Pre-intervention) was evaluated on Blood pressure reduction. Warm water foot soaking for 15 minutes daily over three consecutive days consistently reduced both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in four elderly individuals with stage 1 hypertension.
