title: [Autogenic training as a complementary therapy in unstable arterial hypertension in chronic uremics under periodic dialysis].
abstract: Consideration of the precarious mental balance of chronic uraemic patients receiving periodic haemodialysis, which often affects arterial pressure, led to a group of such patients being subjected to additional treatment in the form of Autogenous Training (A.T.). Comparison of some parameters such as arterial pressure and ECG's evaluated before and after A.T. shows, in several cases, a noticeable clinical improvement. It also has a definite tranquillising effect on the general anxiety state, which makes for better and longer-lasting adaptation to periodic dialysis. In the light of these results, Autogenous Training is proposed as a complementary treatment system for obviating certain non-physiological aspects of dialysis.
