Abstract
Biofeedback Techniques were used for lowering the systolic blood pressure of 4 patients with essential hypertension. Digital blood pressure was continuously monitored. The lowering effect on digital systolic blood pressure by true biofeedbach techniques was substantially greater than that of the false biofeedback information techniques. These results show the possibility of the use of biofeedback techniques in the treatment of essential hypertension.
