The study was aimed at studying the effectiveness of chromotherapy using a combination of green and blue light in reducing blood pressure in patients with hypertension. Materials and methods. The study was conducted from January to July 2024 at the Republican Clinical Hospital of Makhachkala with the participation of 40 patients divided into two groups: the intervention group receiving chromotherapy and the control group not undergoing intervention. The choice of LEDs for therapy was based on their ability to emit green and blue light, which was considered the most effective in the practice of chromotherapy. The procedures lasted from 15 to 30 minutes in a darkened room, ensuring complete relaxation of the participants. Results. After completing the chromotherapy cycle, the intervention group showed a significant decrease in blood pressure, while there were no significant changes in the control group. The average pressure in the treated group decreased to 48.89 mmHg, which is statistically significant at p < 0.05. On the contrary, there was a tendency to increase pressure in the control group. Conclusions. Chromotherapy has demonstrated a positive effect on blood pressure levels and can become an effective attribute of hypertension treatment. This method also helps to improve the psychological state and overall reduce stress factors in patients. While the results indicate the potential of chromotherapy in complex therapy, more research is needed to understand its mechanism of action and long-term effects. These findings highlight the importance of studying non-chemical treatments in modern medicine and the need for further clinical trials to confirm these findings.
