Relaxation therapies for the management of primary hypertension in adults : a Cochrane review. Commentary

TL;DR: In this paper, a review was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of relaxation to lower high blood pressure and found that relaxation resulted in small, statistically significant reductions in SBP (mean difference: 5.5 mm Hg, 95% Cl: -8.2 to -2.8) and DBP (means difference: -3.3 to -1.6) compared to the control.
