Randomized Controlled Trial of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction for Prehypertension
Overview
This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effects of an eight-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program on blood pressure in individuals with prehypertension, comparing outcomes to a progressive muscle relaxation control group. The study reports that participants receiving MBSR experienced greater reductions in clinic systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to the control group, although no significant difference was observed in ambulatory blood pressure measurements.
