The effects of behaviour modification through education and biofeedback-aided relaxation and meditation on the levels of blood pressure, pulse rate, smoking habits as well as serum cholesterol, triglycerides, and free fatty acids were studied in 18 normotensive, 18 smoking, and 22 hypertensive patients with 18 normotensive controls.The results showed significant reduction in blood pressure, in all the treated groups; highly significant reduction in the number of cigarettes smoked by smokers; and reduction in some of the lipids in all the treated groups, but particularly in the hypertensive group. The therapy appears to be feasible and suitable for wider application. This approach is economical, acceptable to patients, and should be explored further.
通过教育以及生物反馈辅助的放松和冥想进行行为矫正,对18名血压正常者、18名吸烟者以及22名高血压患者(另有18名血压正常者作为对照)的血压水平、脉搏率、吸烟习惯以及血清胆固醇、甘油三酯和游离脂肪酸的影响进行了研究。结果显示,所有治疗组的血压均显著降低;吸烟者的吸烟量大幅减少;所有治疗组的某些血脂有所降低,尤其是高血压组。该疗法似乎可行且适合更广泛应用。这种方法经济实惠,患者易于接受,应进一步探索。
