“…Saat tubuh dan pikiran relaks maka hipotalamus juga akan meyesuaikan dengan terjadinya penurunan aktifitas sistem saraf simpatis dan menigkatkan aktifitas sistem parasimpatis. Penderita hipertensi yang telah merasakan penurunan tekanan darah akan merasakan dan mengalami tahapan efek fisiologis dan gejala maupun tandanya dan stres psikologis akan berkurang (Schneider et al, 2019). Dengan demikian teknik relaksasi otot, relaksasi dengan imajinasi terbimbing dan respon relaksasi meditasi sangat mempengaruhi perubahan tekanan darah bagi penderita hipertensi.…”

Hipertensi merupakan salah satu penyakit kronis yang biasa disebut silent killer, dimana dampak penyakit tersebut adalah stroke, penyakit jantung bahkan kematian. Ada juga dampak psikologis yang terjadi pada pasien yang mengalami hipertensi adalah stress maka untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut dapat diberikan terapi meditasi. Meditasi adalah cara untuk mengurangi respon stres dengan teknik relaksasi. Tujuaannya untuk mengetahui efektifitas tindakan meditasi terhadap perubahan tekanan darah. Penelitian tersebut menggunakan design non randomized control group pretest posttest design dengan 20 responden yang dipilih secara purposive sampling. Analisa data penelitian dengan teknik mann-whitney. Pada penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tekanan darah sistolik pada uji statistik menunjukkan bahwa p = 0,004 (p> 0,05) dengan nilai Z- 2945 artinya bahwa Ha diterima atau ada perbedaan tekanan darah antara sebelum dan sesudah terapi meditasi terdapat perubahan yang signifikan. Tindakan meditasi efektif membantu tubuh dalam menguatkan merilekskan otot-otot, sistem peredaran darah dan sistem pernafasan, menenangkan dan relaksasi sehingga mengakibatkan adrenalin dalam tubuh menurun, detak jantung (HR) menurun serta otot-otot di dinding pembuluh darah mengendur (vasodilatasi) sehingga tekanan darah menurun.

“…Systemic arterial hypertension (HT) was the leading cause of cardiovascular mortality in 2010. [ 1 ] Although the latest american college of cardiology & american heart association (2018) guidelines on HT do not recommend meditation, [ 1 ] this opinion is not shared by the American Heart Association [ 2 , 3 ] and the International Society of Hypertension. [ 4 ] However, the mechanisms underlying these effects are largely unknown.…”

Carotid-body modulation through meditation in stage-I hypertensive subjects: Study protocol of a randomized and controlled study

et al. 2023

Adjunctive therapy for hypertension is in high demand for clinical research. Therefore, several meta-analyses have provided sufficient evidence for meditation as an adjunct therapy, without being anchored on reliable physiological grounds. Meditation modulates the autonomic nervous system. Herein, we propose a hierarchical-dependent effect for the carotid body (CB) in attenuating blood pressure (BP) and ventilatory variability (VV) fine-tuning due to known nerve connections between the CB, prefrontal brain, hypothalamus, and solitary tract nucleus. The aim of this exploratory study was to investigate the role of CB in the possible decrease in BP and changes in VV that could occur in response to meditation. This was a prospective, single-center, parallelgroup, randomized, controlled clinical trial with concealed allocation. Eligible adult subjects of both sexes with stage 1 hypertension will be randomized into 1 of 2 groups: transcendental meditation or a control group. Subjects will be invited to 3 visits after randomization and 2 additional visits after completing 8 weeks of meditation or waiting-list control. Thus, subjects will undergo BP measurements in normoxia and hyperoxia, VV measurements using the Poincaré method at rest and during exercise, and CB activity measurement in the laboratory. The primary outcome of this study was the detection of changes in BP and CB activity after 8 weeks. Our secondary outcome was the detection of changes in the VV at rest and during exercise. We predict that interactions between hyperoxic deactivation of CB and meditation; Will reduce BP beyond stand-alone intervention or alternatively; Meditation will significantly attenuate the effects of hyperoxia as a stand-alone intervention. In addition, VV can be changed, partially mediated by a reduction in CB activity. Trial registration number: ReBEC registry (RBR-55n74zm). Stage: pre-results.
