Objective To evaluate the comprehensive intervention effect of Chaihu Shugan decoction on patients with hypertension and anxiety through randomized controlled trial. Methods A total of 162 eligible subjects in our hospital were enrolled and randomly divided into an observation group (integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine) and a control group (conventional antihypertensive). Results Compared with the control group, the treatment group had a significant reduction in 24-hour average systolic blood pressure, an improvement in HAMA scale score, and a significant change in TCM syndrome score (P<0.05). Conclusion On the basis of standardized antihypertensive therapy, traditional Chinese medicine therapy for soothing the liver and relieving depression may improve autonomic nervous system dysfunction in patients with hypertension and anxiety. Western medicine can provide immediate hemodynamic stability, while traditional Chinese medicine can restore the body's self-healing potential through multi-component system regulation.
