    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Behavioral Medicine
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Essential hypertension remains a significant public health concern.
    • Biofeedback and behavioral therapies offer potential non-pharmacological treatment avenues.
    • The efficacy of these treatments for hypertension requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the historical development and current trends in biofeedback for essential hypertension.
    • To assess the existing instrumentation, techniques, and follow-up data for biofeedback in hypertension treatment.
    • To propose a framework for personalized behavioral interventions in hypertension.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of biofeedback applications in essential hypertension.
    • Analysis of current instrumentation and treatment protocols.

  • Speculative analysis based on existing research and biochemical markers.

    • Main Results:

    • Biofeedback has a history in hypertension management, with evolving techniques and instrumentation.
    • The current status of biofeedback for hypertension is uncertain, with varied study outcomes.
    • Identification of potential hypertensive subgroups with specific biochemical markers is suggested.

    Conclusions:

    • Further research is needed to clarify the role of biofeedback in essential hypertension.
    • Personalized behavioral treatments targeting specific subgroups may enhance therapeutic outcomes.
    • The integration of biochemical markers could guide selective biofeedback interventions for central nervous system hypertensives.
