Acupressure therapy to reduce headache pain in patient with hypertension
Main Article Content
Abstract
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is frequently referred to as "the silent killer" because it often presents without symptoms. Blood pressure is measured in two phases: systolic, which is the pressure in the blood vessels when the heart pumps, and diastolic, which is the pressure when the heart is at rest. Uncontrolled hypertension often leads to secondary symptoms, such as severe headaches. The purpose of this case study was to determine the effect of acupressure therapy on reducing headache intensity in a specific patient, Mr. Z (48 years old), who was admitted to the Temanggung Regional General Hospital with a blood pressure reading of 190/120 mmHg. Based on the clinical results and subsequent data analysis, it can be concluded that there was a significant reduction in headache levels after the administration of acupressure therapy.
