Electroacupuncture for essential hypertension: Mechanistic insights, current clinical evidence, and translational challenges.

A review published in Clinical and Experimental Hypertension examines how electroacupuncture may help manage essential hypertension, exploring the proposed biological mechanisms, available clinical trial data, and barriers to broader adoption in practice. The authors synthesize current evidence on neurological and cardiovascular pathways thought to underlie any blood-pressure-lowering effects. Translational challenges—including standardization of protocols and integration into conventional care—are also addressed, making the review relevant to practitioners who incorporate acupuncture-adjacent modalities.
