This study tests a gentle electrical stimulation applied to specific points on the body (acupoints) to see if it can help lower mildly high blood pressure without medication. It might be a non-drug option for managing blood pressure.
This study tests whether a simple self-acupressure technique (pressing specific points on the body) can help lower blood pressure, reduce stress, and improve well-being in people with hypertension. If you have high blood pressure and take medication, this could be a complementary way to support your health.
This study tests a new, non-invasive way to stimulate the brain using special electrical currents to see if it can help control blood pressure. It may be an option for people with mild hypertension, hard-to-treat hypertension, or a condition called orthostatic hypotension (blood pressure drops when standing).
This study tests whether laser acupuncture can help lower blood pressure in people who are on dialysis. If you are between 18 and 65 and receiving dialysis, this treatment might offer a drug-free way to manage your blood pressure.
