Abstract:
In our clinic, blood pressure measurement has been done for many patients with various chief complaints. Acupuncture treatment was undertaken to improve their chief complaints according to Kurono's whole-body adjustment. We carried out a research paying attention to the fact that the patients with elevations of the blood pressure at the first visit showed a tendency to gradual decrease of the values.
According to the values of the first measurement, patients were divided into two groups in accordance with WHO's criteria: Hypertension group and Boundary one.
The first measurement velues and the averaged values of the following seven measurements undertaken before treatment were compared using histgram and t-test.
The descent of the blood pressure was seen in both Hypertension and Boundary group.
