Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Methods: A total of 240 participants who met the inclusion criteria of the study were divided into 2 groups (120 participants in each group).
A 10-session physical therapy was applied to all participants in both groups. Balneotherapy was applied to Group I.
The participants filled out a questionnaire containing demographic data, and participants arterial blood pressures and heart rate were measured and recorded before and after treatment throughout the treatment.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Answers to questions such as in what direction and how these factors affect a human organism in water (during immersion) form the basis of balneotherapy in cardiovascular diseases. For this purpose, the investigators planned to investigate the effects of balneotherapy on blood pressure and heart rate in patients.
METHODS The study was designed as a prospective, randomized, controlled, and single-blind study. A total of 240 participants who applied to the medical ecology and hydroclimatology and physical therapy and rehabilitation outpatient clinic with pain complaints, met the study criteria and signed the participants information consent form were included in the study.
A total of 240 participants who met the inclusion criteria of the study were divided into 2 groups (120 participants in each group) with simple randomization method by using a table of random numbers created on the computer. The researchers who made the assessment measurements were unaware of which participant was in which group. Statistical analysis of the results was performed by a biostatistician who had no information about the therapies the participant groups received.
All participants in both groups underwent a 10-session physical therapy program (e.g. Hot pack, TENS, ultrasound, etc.) to the areas of pain. Balneotherapy was applied to group I before treatment. Balneotherapy applied in the thermal pools to patients for 20 minutes, at a temperature of 38-40°C. After resting for 30 minutes,physical therapy was applied.
The participants filled out a questionnaire containing demographic data, and arterial blood pressures and heart rate were measured and recorded before and after treatment throughout the treatment.

Balneotherapy applied in the thermal pools to patients for 20 minutes, at a temperature of 38-40°C. After resting for 30 minutes,physical therapy was applied.
Balneotherapy with physical therapy
Balneotherapy applied in the thermal pools to patients for 20 minutes, at a temperature of 38-40°C. After resting for 30 minutes,physical therapy was applied.
A physical therapy program (5 days a week for 2 weeks, a total of 10 sessions) was applied to the painful area, including 20 minutes of hot pack at 60°C, 20 minutes of conventional TENS at 80 Hz and US at 3 MHz frequency and 1.5 watt/cm2 intensity.
Only physical therapy
Patients in group 2 were applied only a physical therapy program.
Physical therapy
A physical therapy program (5 days a week for 2 weeks, a total of 10 sessions) was applied to the painful area, including 20 minutes of hot pack at 60°C, 20 minutes of conventional TENS at 80 Hz and US at 3 MHz frequency and 1.5 watt/cm2 intensity.
