The Evaluation of the Changes In Blood Pressure and the Heart Rate
in the Course of Applying Pearl Bath at Persons With the Normal Blood Pressure and Heart Rate
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pearl bath on basic parameters of the cardiovascular system in patients without hypertension Material and Methods: This study recruited 40 patients without hypertension (20 male and 20 female). All patients had their blood pressure and heart rate measured immediately before and during the procedure. Results: During the pearl bath HR increased by an average of 2.6 bpm (p=0,018355), and from the measurement before surgery by 5.5 bpm (p=0,000404). SBP decreased during the bath by 8.7 mmHg (p=0.000001), DBP by 4.8 mmHg (p=0,000727). SBP, DBP values for pre-treatment measurements decreased by 14.4 mmHg (p=0,000000) and 9.7 mmHg (p=0,000005), respectively. Conclusions: Pearl baths decreases blood pressure and increase pulse. The dynamics of changes in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate do not differ significantly between male and female.
