[Evaluation of the effectiveness of normobaric hypoxia and low-intensity laser radiation in hypertensive patients from 24-hour arterial pressure monitoring data].

A randomized parallel study was performed to compare the antihypertensive effect of normobaric hypoxia and low energetic laser irradiation in 57 patients with essential hypertension stage I using 24-hour blood pressure monitoring. High hypotensive efficacy of both methods is demonstrated. A course of normobaric hypoxia decreased mean 24-h and mean daytime systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Low energetic laser irradiation reduced mean 24-h, mean daytime and mean night systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
