Self-Acupressure for Blood Pressure and Stress Relief
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether self-acupressure (applying gentle pressure to specific points on your body) can help lower blood pressure, reduce stress, and improve well-being in people with high blood pressure who are already taking medication. You would learn the technique and practice it at home.
