Abstract

BACKGROUND: PREHYPERTENSION is considered as a cardiovascular disease predicator. Management of PREHYPERTENSION is an appropriate objective for clinicians in a wide range of medical centers. Treatment of PREHYPERTENSION is primarily nonpharmacological, one of which is MASSAGE THERAPY that is used to control the blood pressure. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Swedish massage (face, neck, shoulders and chest) on blood pressure (BP) of the WOMEN with PREHYPERTENSION.METHODS: This was a single-blind clinical trial study. Fifty prehypertensive WOMEN selected by simple random sampling which divided into control and test groups. The test group (25 patients) received Swedish massage 10-15 min, three times a week for 10 sessions and the control groups (25 patients) also were relaxed at the same environment with receiving no massage. Their BP was measured before and after each session. Analyzing the data was done using descriptive and inferential statistical methods (chi square, Mann-Whitney, paired t-test and student t-test) through SPSS software.RESULTS: The results indicated that mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the massage group was significantly lower in comparison with the control group (p<0.001).CONCLUSIONS: Findings of the study indicated that MASSAGE THERAPY was a safe, effective, applicable and cost-effective intervention in controlling BP of the PREHYPERTENSION WOMEN and it can be used in the health care centers and even at home.
