MILAN LEMUS, Carlos Luis; LUNA ARZA, Anais; JACAS GARCIA, Caridad  and  PEREZ INFANTE, Yaimet. Effectiveness of the auricular microsystem associated with the kinesiology as an adjuvant therapy in the antihypertensive treatment. MEDISAN [online]. 2012, vol.16, n.2, pp. 220-227. ISSN 1029-3019.

An experimental study of therapeutic intervention type was carried out, with the auriculotherapy and kinesiotherapy application to 60 adult hypertensive patients who attended the therapeutic area of the Provincial Centre of Sport Medicine in Santiago de Cuba during the first semester of 2011. The higher evolutive effectiveness with the combination of both therapies could be demonstrated in comparison with the use of the second one alone, as adjuvant therapies of the conventional treatment, as complications were not present with their use. Among other advantages there was the decrease in the use of antihypertensive drugs in most of the members of the case material, which reduced their expenses due to it.

Keywords : auriculotherapy; kinesiotherapy; hypertension; therapeutic effectiveness.
