Background: Advancing age increases the risk of developing various conditions, such as hypertension. Non-pharmacological therapy can be achieved by adopting a healthier lifestyle, one example of which is performing isometric handgrip exercises.

Purpose: To present and describe the application of isometric handgrip exercises in reducing acute pain in elderly patients with hypertension.

Method: This is a descriptive study using a case study design. The case study subjects in this research were two patients, Mrs M and Mrs K, elderly patients with hypertension admitted to Ward Dahlia 2 who were experiencing acute pain as a nursing issue. This study also utilised several instruments, namely an aneroid sphygmomanometer, a stethoscope, a handgrip device, and the standard operating procedure (SOP) for isometric handgrip exercise therapy.

Results: In both case studies, the application of isometric handgrip exercises resulted in a reduction in acute pain. Initial assessment revealed that the pain scale had decreased from a level of 4 to a level of 2.

Conclusion: The results of the study indicate a reduction in pain following the performance of isometric handgrip exercises
