Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate better effectiveness of modified relaxation MR technique over no MR for treating hypertension in Thai postmenopausal women
Detailed Description:
Medical treatment of hypertension HTN in postmenopausal women is not very effective as it requires co-operation and long-term commitment from the patients and their families The medication itself may cause bothersome side effects and it can pose economic burden to the patients and the society In contrast lifestyle modifications particularly relaxation technique are less costly and relatively free of any side effects Once the patients master the techniques they can practice by themselves at home and at any time that is convenient to them There is evidence from at least one RCT that the techniques are effective in reducing the systolic blood pressure SBP and diastolic blood pressure DBP even after a short practice of only two months
In this study the investigators propose a randomized control trial to examine the effectiveness of modified relaxation MR technique to control HTN in Thai postmenopausal women against a control group who practice no MR Such a study in Thai population has not been done before In addition the investigators will extend the period of observation up to 16 weeks to assess longer-term patients compliance and the effects of MR on BP
