Effect of Deep Breathing Relaxation and Progressive Muscle Relaxation on Blood Pressure

Hypertension, characterized by diastolic pressure exceeding 90 mmHg and systolic pressure surpassing 140 mmHg, poses a significant health challenge often addressed through pharmacological antihypertensive therapy. This research endeavors to evaluate the impact of complementary interventions, specifically deep breathing relaxation and progressive muscle relaxation, on reducing blood pressure among hypertensive patients within the operational domain of the Kertasemaya Community Health Center in the Indramayu Regency in 2023. Adopting a Quasi-Experimental Design with a Pretest-Posttest and Control Group paradigm, the study engaged a cohort of 70 respondents stratified into intervention and control groups. The intervention group underwent a combined therapy of deep breathing relaxation and progressive muscle relaxation, followed by a meticulous post-test for final observations. Meanwhile, the control group underwent an initial blood pressure measurement (pre-test), a relaxation period of 15-30 minutes, and concluded with a post-test for final measurements. The study revealed a statistically significant influence (p=0.013) on average blood pressure within the intervention group compared to the control group. This disparity was observed both before and after the implementation of deep breathing relaxation and progressive muscle relaxation techniques among hypertensive respondents. These findings underscore the potential efficacy of non-pharmacological interventions in mitigating hypertension and enhancing patient well-being. The combination of deep breathing relaxation and progressive muscle relaxation emerges as a highly effective strategy in reducing blood pressure among hypertensive individuals. This integrative therapeutic approach showcases promising potential for promoting cardiovascular well-being, offering a valuable non-pharmacological avenue for hypertension management

Impact of Deep Breathing, Murottal, and Hypertension Exercises on Headache Management in Hypertensive Individuals

Hypertension, characterized by an abnormal increase in blood pressure, often triggers headaches at the back of the head and neck due to vascular disturbances. This study explores the effectiveness of a holistic non-pharmacological intervention—comprising Deep Breathing Relaxation Technique, Qur'anic recitation (murottal), and Hypertension Exercise—to alleviate these headaches in hypertensive patients at Mekarjaya Community Health Center, Indonesia. Employing a quantitative approach, the research utilized a Quasi-Experimental Design with a Pretest and Posttest Control Group. The intervention group underwent IMAS therapy, an integrated approach combining the three techniques, while the control group continued only with routine medication. Conducted in December 2022 with 16 participants in each group, results from both Dependent and Independent T-tests (p < 0.05) confirmed the significant effect of the interventions. This study not only underscores the potential of such integrative therapies in managing hypertension-related headaches but also contributes to broader health care practices by offering a viable alternative to conventional medication. The findings align with and extend existing research on relaxation therapies for hypertension, suggesting substantial benefits in patient well-being and symptom management.

The Efficiency of Respiratory Exercises in Rehabilitation of Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Low back pain (LBP) is a common musculoskeletal disorder, and respiratory exercise is considered a nonsurgical management method. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aims to estimate the results of randomized controlled trials on the effect of respiratory training in reducing LBP and its dose relationship. The present study was conducted from January 2020 to January 2022, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines (2020). Relevant studies were searched in multiple databases including PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, EBSCO, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Wan Fang and China Knowledge Network, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Google Scholar, using a combination of MeSH/Emtree terms and free-text words. The heterogeneity of the studies was assessed using the I2 statistic. A total of 14 publications were included in the meta-analysis, with a total sample size of 698 individuals, aged 60-80years. Respiratory exercise was effective in relieving LBP (standardized mean difference = -0.87, P < .00001) and improving physical disability (standardized mean difference = -0.79, P < .00001). The type of breathing and the total duration of breathing exercises were found to be the source of heterogeneity in this study by subgroup analysis. Subgroup analysis revealed that the most significant effect sizes of breathing resistance exercise to reduce LBP and the most significant effect sizes of breathing relaxation techniques to alleviate physical disability were performed 3 to 5 times per week and period >4weeks. Respiratory exercise reducing LBP and improving functional disability was most effective when the total duration of the intervention was >500minutes. Funnel plots showed that the results of the 2 overall studies were reliable without publication bias. Respiratory exercise can effectively reduce LBP and improve physical disability. Therefore, these exercises can be regarded as a part of a LBP management plan. We recommend an exercise program with 30 to 50 minutes, 3 to 5 times per week, and >4weeks of breathing resistance exercise program as the most effective for treating LBP.
