| description | <p><strong>Background</strong>: arterial hypertension is a disease with a high prevalence worldwide. Among the alternatives for its treatment, music therapy is effective together with pharmacological treatment.<br /><strong>Objective</strong>: to describe the music therapy influence in the reduction of moderately high blood pressure figures.<br /><strong>Methods</strong>: an observational, analytical, case-control study was carried out with patients (n=100) who attended the Rolando Ricardo Estrada Polyclinic’s Emergency Room, in the Báguanos municipality (Holguín), from 2021 to 2022, selected through purposive non- probabilistic sampling. Two groups of 50 patients each were created. The case group was exposed to music therapy, but not the control group.<br /><strong>Results</strong>: in both groups, patients aged between 40 and 59 years (41%), female (55%) and with a previous diagnosis of arterial hypertension (58%) predominated. At the time of going to the polyclinic, systolic pressure between 140 and 159 mmHg (62%) predominated in both groups. After one hour had elapsed, in most of the patients in the case group the figures dropped to 120 and 139 mmHg (32%). In the control group, a slight decrease was observed, but a higher percentage of patients with 140 to 159 mmHg (25%) remained.<br /><strong>Conclusion</strong>: patients exposed to music therapy showed a more marked decrease in moderately elevated blood pressure figures, compared to those not exposed.</p> |
