Effect of biofeedback-assisted relaxation on blood pressure and cortisol levels in normotensives and hypertensives.

A McGrady, M Woerner, G A Bernal, J T Higgins.   

Abstract

This report examines the relationship between blood pressure and cortisol in normotensives and hypertensives. Both groups received biofeedback-assisted relaxation training. Both groups significantly decreased their muscle tension levels from baseline. Only the hypertensives decreased their blood pressure and cortisol levels after training. Implications for the role of cortisol in the relaxation response and in hypertension are discussed.
