ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the blood-pressure-decreasing action of stimulating auricular acupoint Jiangyagou in the patient of hypertension.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>One hundred and twenty-nine cases of stage I - III hypertension were treated by electric pulse stimulation of auricular acupoint Jiangyagou with a MEDI/calma Nerve and Muscle Stimulator, 20-30 min each time, once daily. After treatment of 3 courses (21 days), changes of blood pressure were observed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Of the 129 cases, 44 cases were markedly effective, 73 cases were effective and 12 cases were ineffective, the total effective rate being 90.70%. The systolic pressure was decreased by (18.64 +/- 1.48)mmHg and the diastolic pressure by (8.01 +/- 0.68)mmHg on average, with very significant differences before and after treatment in both the systolic pressure and the diastolic pressure.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Electric pulse stimulation of Jiangyagou can effectively decrease both the systolic pressure and diastolic pressure in the patient of hypertension.</p>
