“…There is laughter therapy (Eshg, & Ghafouri, 2017), and SEFT therapy (Karmiyati & Sari, 2018), both of which exert an influence on stress for people with hypertension. Then there is aromatherapy therapy (Nesami, et al, 2018), music listening therapy (Knight & Richard, 2001), and getting closer to religion (Lev et al, 2007& & Fernando et al, 2019. The three therapies have been proven to have significant impacts on reducing stress among people with hypertension.…”

“…The benefits of this music therapy for health are preventing cognitive stress because stress increases blood pressure which is potentially hypertensive. Music therapy is also suitable for reducing the risk of poor mental health (Knight et al, 2001& Chen, 2019 Another therapy that is useful for people with hypertension is the therapy to get closer to religion and improve spirituality. In religion, there is a series of worship that is beneficial for human physical and mental health.…”

This study aims to determine the comparison between physical therapy and psychosocial therapy to control stress among hypertensive patients. Hypertension develops rapidly in developing countries with one of the most considered factors is chronic stress. Most hypertensive patients use drugs to lower their blood pressure even though anti-hypertensive drugs could cause undesirable side effects. Many studies were conducted to relieve stress in hypertensive patients as companion therapy. Stress causes blood pressure to rise; thus, stress control is essential to control blood pressure. The therapies reviewed here are physical therapy and psychosocial therapy, which serve to control stress among hypertensive patients. The study discusses the advantages of each therapy and the different therapeutic methods that can be applied by physical therapy and psychosocial therapy as additional therapies for hypertensive patients or for people who want to control stress in their lives. In general, physical therapy and psychosocial therapy have the same benefits for reducing stress in hypertensive patients.

“…This aim is shared by other research modalities such as faecal transplant [ 22 ]. Yoga and mindfulness training have also proven to have modest effects on BP in small studies [ 23 , 24 ]. A package of multi-component intervention based on promoting increased exercise levels, DASH diet, reducing salt intake and weight loss reduced hypertension prevalence by an odds ratio of 0.77(95% CI: 0.62–0.97) in comparison to advice alone [ 25 ].…”

The last decade has witnessed the healthcare system going paperless with increased use of electronic healthcare records. Artificial intelligence tools including smartphones and smart watches have changed the landscape of day-to-day lives. Digitisation, decentralisation of healthcare and empowerment of allied healthcare providers and patients themselves have made shared clinical decision-making a reality. The year 2020 quickly turned into an unprecedented time in our lives with the entry of COVID-19. Amidst a pandemic, healthcare systems rapidly adapted and transformed, and changes that otherwise would have taken a decade, took a mere few weeks (Webster, Lancet 395:1180–1, 2020). This essay reviews evidence of transformation in the realm of hypertension management, namely diagnosis, lifestyle changes, therapeutics and prevention of hypertension at both individual and population levels, and presents an extrapolation of how this transformation might shape the next decade.

“…The implementation of mindfulness programs may be an effective way to decrease effects of overactivity from the HPA axis via decreasing the severity of the stress response. In individuals with hypertension, 8-weeks of an MBSR course significantly reduced clinical seated resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure (29,57).…”

“…In another study, decreases in blood pressure were related to the improvements in anxiety and stress levels, although primarily for diastolic blood pressure (57). It is important to note that MBSR programs are not intended to be substitutes for medication, but rather an adjunct to potentially mitigate high blood pressure and other detrimental cardiovascular variables (29).…”
