The Impact of Non-pharmacological Interventions on Blood Pressure Control in Patients With Hypertension : A Systematic Review

Copyright © 2023, Ballut et al..

Hypertension treatment should involve non-pharmacological interventions such as dietary salt restriction, weight loss, exercise, limiting alcohol intake, and dietary approaches to stop hypertension diet. Significant impacts of these interventions have been suggested for a long time. This systematic review aims to assess the influence of non-pharmacological therapies on hypertension patients' ability to control their blood pressure. The review will concentrate on randomized controlled trials examining how non-pharmacological therapies affect blood pressure regulation in hypertension patients. A systematic review was conducted to investigate the impact of non-pharmacological interventions on blood pressure control in patients with hypertension. A comprehensive search for relevant studies was conducted. The following electronic databases were searched: EMBASE, OVID-MEDLINE, and PubMed. The search covered the period between January 2000 and August 2023. The search strategy included a combination of keywords related to hypertension, non-pharmacological interventions, and blood pressure control. A thorough literature evaluation of papers from the EMBASE, OVID-MEDLINE, and PubMed databases was part of the procedure for choosing the studies. Combinations of the keywords telemedicine, primary care, and effectiveness were used for the search. Only studies published in English between January 2000 and August 2023 were included in the search. Through database searching, 862 entries were found, of which 321 were from EMBASE, 112 from OVID-MEDLINE, and 429 from PubMed. After duplicate records were eliminated, 117 records were checked for eligibility. Of these, 100 were disregarded for a variety of reasons, including not relevant to the objectives of the study (n = 63), abstracts or reviews (n = 8), and studies that failed to present interesting research findings (n = 36). The eligibility of the remaining 10 full-text publications was evaluated. Ten articles passed the inclusion tests and were added to the research after a thorough evaluation. Lifestyle modifications are important and have a significant impact on controlling hypertension and a positive impact on reducing blood pressure. Combination therapy is more effective; however, adherence to the modifications is the most important factor affecting the outcomes.
