Brain stimulation for blood pressure control
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You must have one of these blood pressure patterns: mild high blood pressure (140–159/90–99) without medication, high blood pressure that does not respond to 3 or more medications, or a big drop in blood pressure when standing up (orthostatic hypotension).
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be between 18 and 30.
- You must be willing to sign a consent form after learning about the risks.
- You cannot have secondary high blood pressure (caused by another condition), structural brain problems, or heart failure.

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 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 a new way to help people with spinal cord injury who have problems with low blood pressure, especially when they sit or stand. It uses a small device that gently stimulates the spinal cord to help keep blood pressure steady, which may help you feel less dizzy and more stable.
This study tests a standardized plan for treating high blood pressure (hypertension). It's for people whose blood pressure is above 140/90 and who are either newly diagnosed or on only one medication, to see if following a consistent treatment approach helps lower blood pressure more effectively.
This trial looks at how blood pressure and heart rate change when standing up or exercising in healthy people and in older adults with high blood pressure. It aims to understand how the body's automatic (autonomic) nervous system controls these functions.
This study tests different blood pressure medications chosen based on how your heart and blood vessels work, to see if a more personalized approach can better lower blood pressure. If you have mild to moderate hypertension and have not yet started medication, this trial may help find the treatment that works best for you.
