Abstract

Cases of vertigo at Sawah Lebar Community Health Center increased from 68 in 2022 to 84 in 2024, with pharmacological therapy as the main treatment. Brandt Daroff Exercise is a simple and safe technique proven to reduce headache intensity in vertigo patients. This study aimed to determine its effectiveness in lowering headache pain scales among vertigo patients in the Sawah Lebar Community Health Center, Bengkulu City. The research used a descriptive case study on one 38-year-old patient. The intervention was conducted for 10 consecutive days, three times daily, lasting 20–30 minutes per session. Pain intensity was assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale before and after each session. Results showed a consistent reduction in pain scale from 6 on the first day to 1 on the tenth day, with gradual improvement observed in all daily measurements. The findings indicate that Brandt Daroff Exercise effectively decreases headache levels and supports non-pharmacological management of vertigo. This exercise is easy to perform, cost-effective, and suitable for use in primary healthcare settings. It can also be taught as a home-based self-therapy for patients to improve symptom control and enhance their quality of life.

Abstract

Hypertension is a major global health problem, affecting approximately 1.28 billion people worldwide (WHO, 2024). In Indonesia, the prevalence of hypertension reached 34.1% in 2023, indicating a significant public health concern. At Pasar Ikan Health Center in Bengkulu City, hypertension cases have shown a marked increase, rising from 1,193 cases in 2020 to 2,307 cases in 2024. If left uncontrolled, hypertension can result in severe complications, including stroke, heart failure, and other cardiovascular diseases. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as the administration of green grass jelly, have been explored as complementary therapies to help manage blood pressure naturally. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of green grass jelly in reducing blood pressure among hypertensive patients in the working area of Pasar Ikan Health Center, Bengkulu City, in 2025. A descriptive case study was conducted on one hypertensive patient who received 100 grams of green grass jelly daily for seven consecutive days. The patient’s blood pressure decreased from 140/90 mmHg before the intervention to 134/80 mmHg on the seventh day, indicating a positive response. These results suggest that green grass jelly is effective in helping to stabilize blood pressure.
