초록

Objectives : Aim of this study was to investigate the antihypertensive effect of Gyeok-Pal Sang-Saeng-Yeok-Chim acupuncture treatment in hypertensive patients. Methods : The research subjects were a total of 26 hypertension patients. Eligible participants had systolic blood pressure ${\geq}140mmHg$ or diastolic blood pressure ${\geq}90mmHg$ with antihypertensive drug. Both the experimental and control group were divided into 13 participants respectively with homogeneous consideration. The experimental group had acupuncture treatment, Gyeok-Pal Sang-Saeng-Yeok-Chim, whereas the control group didn't have any treatment. Blood pressure was measured before and after acupuncture treatment for a total of 12 times. Results : After 4 weeks of treatment we could identify a decrease in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in acupuncture, Gyeok-Pal Sang-Saeng-Yeok-Chim, treated group compared to that of control group. The given results by measuring time on blood pressure were as follows: Significant decrease in systolic blood pressure from the $1^{st}$ to $12^{th}$ day of visit(P<0.05) while diastolic blood pressure did not show significant decrease. Conclusions : The results suggest that Gyeok-Pal Sang-Saeng-Yeok-Chim acupuncture treatment is effective in decreasing blood pressure but with statistical restriction compared to that of control group.
