Electro-acupuncture to help lower high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether electro-acupuncture can improve blood pressure in people with mild coronary artery disease or high blood pressure. If it works, it may offer a non-medicine approach to better blood pressure control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have high blood pressure (with or without taking blood pressure medicines).
- You have only mild coronary artery disease, with no signs of heart stress changes on an ECG while resting.
- You are not pregnant and not breastfeeding.
- You do not have severe coronary disease with ongoing chest pain (continuous angina).
- Your ECG does not show a specific electrical block (left bundle branch block).
- You do not have certain heart rhythm problems or any need to avoid exercise/stress testing due to major orthopedic, diabetic, or psychological issues.
