Brain Stimulation Treatment for High Blood Pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called hi-tACS can help lower blood pressure in people with primary hypertension. The treatment uses electrical currents applied to the scalp and may offer a new way to control blood pressure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with primary hypertension (high blood pressure) that is Stage 1, 2, or 3
- Your blood pressure is not controlled by 3 or more blood pressure medications, or you have secondary hypertension—you would not qualify
- You have not had a heart attack, stroke, or severe heart failure within the last 6 months
- You do not have implanted electronic devices (like a pacemaker) or metal implants in your head
- You have no active major psychiatric disorders or significant cognitive impairment
- You do not have skin problems (lesions, eczema, or broken skin) where the electrodes would be placed

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new non-invasive treatment called temporal interference stimulation—electrical stimulation applied to the scalp—to help lower blood pressure in people with mild hypertension. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective as an alternative to blood pressure medications.
This study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation device that may help control blood pressure. It is for people with certain types of high blood pressure or low blood pressure upon standing.
This study tests a non‑invasive brain stimulation method called tACS (transcranial alternating current stimulation) for people with difficult‑to‑treat depression and signs of inflammation. It aims to see if this treatment can help when standard medications haven't worked well enough.
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.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation that uses gentle electrical currents to help people with depression or anxiety who haven't fully responded to medication. It may offer a new treatment option without the side effects of drugs.
This study tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) can safely treat depression. It uses mild electrical pulses on the scalp to help improve mood.
