Electroacupuncture in hypertension-mediated organ damage: A hypothesis-generating framework of blood pressure-dependent and candidate blood pressure-independent mechanisms.

A newly published theoretical framework examines how electroacupuncture may reduce organ damage associated with hypertension through both blood pressure-lowering and potentially blood pressure-independent pathways. The authors propose candidate mechanisms by which electroacupuncture could exert protective effects on organs such as the heart, kidneys, and vasculature beyond simple antihypertensive action. The paper is hypothesis-generating rather than a clinical trial, intended to guide future research into electroacupuncture as an adjunct intervention in hypertension management.
