The impact of self-hypnosis and instrumental music therapy on lower blood pressure in hypertension patients

Abstract

Globally, heart and blood vessel diseases, which include hypertension, are the leading cause of death. To induce a calm mood and stabilize blood pressure, two options are instrumental music and self-hypnosis. The purpose of the study was to ascertain whether instrumental music and self-hypnosis therapy might effectively lower hypertension patients' blood pressure. Pre- and post-tests were conducted in this study using a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group. A total of forty-six patients were enlisted and assigned to either the experimental or control group. Standard pharmaceutical therapy, along with a combination of instrumental music and self-hypnosis therapy were administered to the experimental group. Whereas the usual pharmaceutical treatment was given to the control group. Both an independent sample t-test and a paired t-test were used to analyze the data. The findings revealed a notable drop in systolic blood.
