Gentle electrical stimulation at acupoints for mild high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- Your blood pressure is mildly high: top number 130-150 or bottom number 80-95
- You are not taking blood pressure medication now, or you have stopped it for at least two weeks
- You can tolerate a mild electrical stimulation on your skin (like a small tingling sensation)
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have severe heart, skin, or nerve conditions

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.
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 direct electrical stimulation of brain areas that help control blood pressure can safely change blood pressure. It may help researchers understand how to treat blood pressure problems in the future.
This study tests whether acupuncture can help lower blood pressure in people with mild to moderate hypertension. You may be asked to join because you meet age and blood-pressure ranges and have a normal heart screening ECG.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to lower blood pressure in people with mild hypertension. It may offer a drug-free option for managing blood pressure.
This study tests whether electrical acupoint stimulation (a gentle, needle-free technique that uses small electrical pulses on specific body points) can help prevent low blood pressure during anesthesia for abdominal surgery. It may be useful for older adults who want to reduce the risk of blood pressure dips during their operation.
