Effect of Pursed-Lip Breathing on Blood Pressure and Heart Rate

Hypertensive Urgency Clinical Trial

Official title:
Effect of Pursed-Lip Breathing Combined With Number Counting on Blood Pressure and Heart Rate in Hypertensive Urgency Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

Hypertensive urgency (HT urgency) is an alarm sign of uncontrolled hypertension. It can be aggravated by nonadherent to medication and psychosocial stress. Mindfulness is beneficial for reducing stress, while deep and slow breathing is effective for blood pressure (BP) lowering. The objective of the study was to assess the effect of pursed-lip breathing with number counting (PLB with NC) that promotes mindfulness and a deep/slow breathing pattern on BP and heart rate (HR) in the HT urgency patients.

Clinical Trial Description

This was a single-blinded randomized controlled trial. Patients aged between 18-80 years old, diagnosed with HT urgency, who presented at the emergency room of Srinagarind hospital (a 1000-bed, tertiary-care level university hospital), Khon Kaen University between September 1st, 2019 to June 30th, 2020, were enrolled. Those with cardiac arrhythmias, acute HF, acute coronary syndromes, acute stroke, acute respiratory failure, alteration of consciousness, and pregnant women were excluded. This study was approved by the Khon Kaen University Ethical Review Board in Human Research (HE611586). All patients gave their written informed consent before the enrollment.HT urgency was defined as SBP >180 mmHg and/or DBP >110 mmHg without any signs or symptoms of target organ damages. ;
