Electrical acupressure for high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation at specific points on the body (like acupressure) can help lower blood pressure without medication. It may be a good option if you have mild high blood pressure and are not currently taking drugs for it.
