  Hypertension often results in dangerous conditions that are often not realized and often do not cause complaints. Hypertension is also often referred to as the silent kiler because it is a deadly disease. Even hypertension can lead to other deadly diseases and can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney failure. The research design used Quasi Experiment with Non Equivalent Control Group design with pre-postest control one group design. The research was conducted in the working area of ​​the Dlanggu Health Center on September 2020. The population in this study were all hypertension sufferers. The sampling technique used simple random sampling of 60 people. The instrument used was a sphygmomanometer, measuring height and weight and an observation sheet. Data analysis used the Ancova test with the assumption of normal and homogeneous data distribution. Ancova analysis results showed that BMI did not affect systolic blood pressure (F = 0.014, p value 0.907> α), but there was a difference in systolic blood pressure between the control group and the treatment group (F = 105.06, p-value 0,000 <α). The results of the ancova analysis showed that BMI did not affect diastolic blood pressure (F = 0.003, p value 0.953> α), but there was a difference in diastolic blood pressure between the control group and the treatment group (F = 80.899, p-value 0.000 <α). It can be concluded that the difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure after being given Touch Therapy is not controlled by the BMI variable. This is because blood pressure is controlled by other influencing factors, including stress and physical activity.

Hypertension is one of the deadliest diseases in the world, hypertension is an increase in systolic blood pressure above the normal limit of more than 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of more than 90 mmHg, factors that cause increased blood pressure are physical activity, emotion, age, gender , nutritional status, drinking alcohol, smoking, stress. Data from the Grandmed Lubuk Pakam Hospital in 2018 the number of hypertension patients there were 178 cases of hypertension, the number of men was 82 people and women 96 people. One of the non-pharmacological therapies offered to reduce hypertension is massage therapy. The massage technique can remove blockages in the blood vessels so that blood and energy flow in the body returns smoothly. This research was conducted using a quasi-experimental design with the type of design to be used, namely the static group comparison method, the sampling technique used was non-probability sampling with purposive sampling technique, where the sample of this study was 20 people. The results showed that the pre-test sample in the treatment group was known to have the highest value of 160/100 mmHg and the lowest value of 130/90 and post-test mmHg with an average pre-test blood pressure value of 142.00 on systolic and 93.00 on diastolic, and 110.00 post-test. in systole and 79.00 in diastole. Based on the results above, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between  reflexology neck massage with a decrease in blood pressure in patients with hypertension where the Wilcoxon Test results obtained p = 0.004 (systolic blood pressure) and p = 0.005 (diastolic blood pressure).

Aim. To estimate the dynamics of 24-hour blood pressure pattern in patients with resistant hypertension after renal denervation in comparison with the conservative treatment group.Methods. We enrolled 45 patients (21 men and 24 women, mean age 53 (43-66) years) with resistant hypertension. Renal denervation was performed in 25 patients using Vessix renal denervation system while the conservative treatment group included 20 patients. Monitoring of 24-hour blood pressure pattern was performed before renal denervation and after 1 year of follow-up.Results. Twelve months after renal denervation, patients with resistant hypertension had a significant reduction in office blood pressure (33 and 15 mmHg for systolic and diastolic blood pressure, respectively) and 24-hour average blood pressure (29 and 12 mmHg, for systolic and diastolic blood pressure, respectively). Another beneficial effect of renal denervation was a decrease in systolic blood pressure variability both throughout the day and at night (6 (5-12) and 7 (7-10) mmHg, respectively); however, no changes in diastolic blood pressure variability have been registered. Despite renal denervation did not affect the morning blood pressure surge, morning systolic blood pressure reduced from 174 (130180) mmHg to 156 (130-165) mmHg. After 1 year of follow-up, the proportion of dippers increased from 16 to 44%. In contrast to the patients who underwent renal denervation, there were no significant changes in 24-hour blood pressure pattern in the conservative treatment group.Conclusion. After 1 year of follow-up, renal denervation can be considered as an option superior to conservative treatment in patients with resistant hypertension, as it significantly improved 24-hour blood pressure pattern.
