Results: It was found that the average systolic blood pressure before (pretest) SEFT therapy was 141.32 mmHg. The diastolic was 93.42 mmHg, the average systolic blood pressure after (post-test) SEFT therapy was 136.58 mmHg, and the diastolic was 88.58 mmHg. Thus the results of the Wilcoxon Test obtained statistical results obtained systolic p = 0.003 and diastolic p = 0.001, α = 0.05 (p <α), which means there is a significant change in blood pressure reduction in hypertensive patients who have been given SEFT therapy.
