Abstract:
:A multidimensional behavioral program was developed for the treatment of essential hypertension. Over a course of 6 weeks, 108 patients of a rehabilitation center were treated with this program consisting of health education, self-monitoring of blood pressure, relaxation techniques, and a social skill training in addition to standard medical treatment alone. Blood pressure and other cardiovascular risk factors were monitored for a period of 12 months. Blood pressure levels became normotensive in both groups at the end of the 6-week training program. However, the blood pressure reduction in the behavioral treatment group was achieved with fewer patients taking antihypertensive medication than in the control group. The number of patients taking antihypertensive drugs in the treatment group was 60.2% prior to treatment and 44.4% after treatment; figures for the control group were 68% and 73.8%, respectively (p less than or equal to 0.01). Almost identical data were obtained at the 6- and 23-month follow-up examinations. No consistent changes were observed in weight, smoking, or blood lipids. These results demonstrate beneficial and long-lasting effects of a combined medical and psychologic treatment of essential hypertension as compared to medical treatment alone.
