The Study of Acupuncture Treatment for Patients Having High Blood Pressure (Prediction)

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.
