Non-invasive brain stimulation for mild high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 65 years old.
- Your blood pressure is mildly high (systolic 140-159 or diastolic 90-99).
- You are not taking any blood pressure medication, or you have stopped taking it for at least 3 months.
- You do not have certain heart conditions, a history of stroke or heart attack, or metal implants in your head.
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant within the next year.

This trial tests if a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (briefly restricting blood flow to an arm) can safely lower blood pressure in people with essential hypertension. It is for adults aged 30-75 whose blood pressure is consistently high despite standard care.
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 trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called high-intensity transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) for people with high blood pressure. It aims to see if this treatment can help lower blood pressure and may offer a new option for managing hypertension.
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 uses a new type of brain stimulation (temporal interference) to see if it can safely change brain activity. It is for healthy adults who want to help researchers learn more about how the brain works.
