Relaxation therapies</h2><div id="ch8.s1.1"><h3>1.1. Review question: What is the clinical and cost-effectiveness of relaxation therapies for the management of primary hypertension in adults?</h3></div><div id="ch8.s1.2"><h3>1.2. Introduction</h3><p>Blood pressure is affected by many physiological parameters including the actions of the kidneys, blood vessels and level of arousal. It is known that blood pressure increases at times of stress, and this forms the basis of the recommendation that individuals should sit quietly for a short period of time before blood pressure measurement. Participation in relaxation therapies (for example, biofeedback, meditation or yoga) may therefore have a sustained blood pressure lowering effect thus leading to a reduction in cardiovascular events. Relaxation therapies for hypertension are not part of current practice in the treatment of hypertension. This chapter assesses the evidence as to whether relaxation therapies are clinically and cost effective for the management of hypertension.</p></div><div id="ch8.s1.3"><h3>1.3.

Health economic evidence statements</h4><p>No relevant economic evaluations were identified.</p></div></div><div id="ch8.s1.8"><h3>1.8. The committee&#x02019;s discussion of the evidence</h3><div id="ch8.s1.8.1"><h4>1.8.1. Interpreting the evidence</h4><div id="ch8.s1.8.1.1"><h5>1.8.1.1. The outcomes that matter most</h5><p>The committee considered all-cause mortality, quality of life, stroke and myocardial infarction to be critical outcomes for decision-making. Heart failure, vascular procedures, angina and reduction in medication were also considered important for decision-making. There was no evidence addressing all-cause mortality, quality of life, heart failure and vascular events. There was also no evidence to determine whether or not relaxation therapies could result in a cessation or reduction of medication.</p></div><div id="ch8.s1.8.1.2"><h5>1.8.1.2. The quality of the evidence</h5><p>Only 1 study was identified to include in the review. The evidence was rated as very low quality due to imprecision and risk of bias. Due to the small sample size, the committee considered that in isolation this evidence was underpowered to detect differences in cardiovascular event rates. The committee also considered the age of the included study and noted that clinical diagnoses in 1988 differ to those in the present day. In particular, the committee highlighted that myocardial infarction outcomes may have previously included conditions such as angina and therefore this may overestimate the effect of reduction in this outcome when compared to the current definition. In addition, the device used for blood pressure measurement was a random 0 sphygmomanometer, which is no longer a validated measurement. Furthermore, it was noted that there was a significant imbalance between the 2 groups in their baseline systolic blood pressure. The improvement in blood pressure for the group receiving relaxation therapy may therefore be the result of regression towards the mean, and must be interpreted with caution. When considering all of these factors, the committee agreed that the available evidence was insufficient to inform recommendations.</p></div><div id="ch8.s1.8.1.3"><h5>1.8.1.3. Benefits and harms</h5><p>There was a clinically important benefit of relaxation therapy for hypertension with the outcomes of angina and myocardial infarction at 1 year, and conversely there was a clinically important harm for the outcome of stroke at 1 year. However, there were only a small number of participants included within the evidence, which was considered insufficient to determine differences in cardiovascular events. The very low quality of the evidence and low numbers of events occurring led to considerable uncertainty in the effect size. The committee agreed this was insufficient to determine the effectiveness of relaxation therapies.</p><p>Based on the available evidence, the committee agreed it could not justify retaining the recommendation that had been made in the previous guideline for relaxation therapies. The committee was aware of some RCTs that had suggested benefits of relaxation therapies in reducing blood pressure; however, these did not meet the protocol inclusion criteria to be included in this review where the surrogate measure of blood pressure reduction was not considered critical to decision-making. A previous iteration of the guideline in 2004 (CG18) identified some evidence to suggest that relaxation therapies could reduce blood pressure at a short follow-up, however, this was a small reduction and the long term effectiveness of relaxation therapies was not determined. This evidence was not sufficient to determine whether or not relaxation therapies could also reduce cardiovascular events, and the additional evidence reviewed in this update was also not sufficient to determine this. Given the lack of evidence for hard outcomes, the committee considered whether there would be some merit in recommending further research in this area. The committee discussed the study designs that could be utilised for further research and agreed that a well-designed RCT would require extensive resources in order to answer the question of whether relaxation therapies are a clinically effective treatment for hypertension. This would need to be significantly larger than those in the current literature. Due to the small changes in blood pressure that are associated with the interventions, a large number of participants would be required in order to detect any differences between interventions. The committee agreed a research recommendation may be useful.</p></div></div><div id="ch8.s1.8.2"><h4>1.8.2. Cost effectiveness and resource use</h4><p>No economic evidence was identified for this question.</p><p>The clinical study identified had a relaxation intervention conducted by GPs and nurses. Relaxation therapies involve a lot of staff time to provide the exact cost varying depending on the length of the sessions, the length of the course, the number of people attending, and the grade of staff involved. To estimate, costing up the course from the clinical trial led to over &#x000a3;1,000 for a course of treatment for a group and over &#x000a3;100 per person if there are 10 people per group.</p><p>The committee agreed there was no benefit demonstrated from the intervention, as there was only 1 event in 1 arm and no events in the other arm for each outcome. There were also serious methodological flaws with the evidence.</p></div></div></div><div id="ch8.rl.r1"><h2 id="_ch8_rl_r1_">2.

<b>Research question: What is the clinical and cost-effectiveness of relaxation therapies for the management of primary hypertension in adults in terms of reducing cardiovascular events and improving quality of life?</b>
</p><p>
<b>Why this is important:</b>
</p><p>It is known that blood pressure is increased at times of stress and conversely is reduced when levels of arousal are low. It is unknown whether participation in relaxation therapies can lead to a reduction in cardiovascular events. Relaxation therapies do not form part of current practice in the management of hypertension, as there is a lack of evidence assessing either their clinical- or cost-effectiveness.</p><p>Despite the benefits of antihypertensive medication, many individuals with hypertension do not achieve their target blood pressure. The reasons for poorly controlled hypertension are multifactorial, and within this population are individuals who are unable to, or choose not to, take medication. The identification of relaxation therapies as an alternative or complimentary treatment approach may reduce the proportion of individuals with poorly controlled hypertension with consequent improvement in health outcomes.</p><p>This research recommendation has been written to guide the design of studies so that the evidence generated is of sufficient, high quality for inclusion in future guidance.</p><p id="ch8.appj.tab1"><a href="/books/NBK578064/table/ch8.appj.tab1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobch8appjtab1" class="figpopup">Criteria for selecting high-priority research recommendations</a></p></div></div></div></div><div class="fm-sec"><div><p>Final</p></div><div><p>Intervention evidence review</p><p>This evidence review was developed by the National Guideline Centre</p></div><div><p><b>Disclaimer</b>: The recommendations in this guideline represent the view of NICE, arrived at after careful consideration of the evidence available.

<p>
<b>Where there is discretion</b>
</p>
<p>The health economist will make a decision based on the relative applicability and quality of the available evidence for that question in discussion with the guideline committee if required. The ultimate aim is to include health economic studies that are helpful for decision-making in the context of the guideline and the current NHS setting. If several studies are considered of sufficiently high applicability and methodological quality that they could all be included, then the health economist, in discussion with the committee if required, may decide to include only the most applicable studies and to exclude selectively the remaining studies. All studies excluded based on applicability or methodological limitations will be listed with explanation in the excluded health economic studies appendix below.</p>
<p>The health economist will be guided by the following hierarchies.</p>

<p>Hard outcome measures are required for 2 reasons. Firstly, these outcome measures are the standard on which the current guidelines are based. Secondly, it is unlikely that a double-blind study can be conducted into relaxation therapies, and so outcome measures must be selected to minimise potential bias.</p>
<p>To demonstrate a significant difference in outcomes for relaxation therapies in addition to usual care the study will need to recruit many participants for a prolonged period. It is unlikely that the study could be completed in less than 5 years, but this is consistent with other cardiovascular studies. The costs are dependent on the choice of relaxation therapy.</p>
<p>Current guidelines recommend that all hypertensive individuals be offered antihypertensive medication, except those with stage 1 hypertension at low-risk of cardiovascular events. This recommendation is based on evidence of clinical- and cost-effectiveness. It is therefore unlikely to be ethical to randomise people who would normally be offered medication to receive either medication or relaxation therapy. The likely study population would therefore be either low-risk stage 1 hypertensive individuals in whom antihypertensive medication may be considered, or individuals with hypertension who are already taking medication. These limitations will affect the event rate and thus increase the required size or duration of the study.</p>
