Abstract

Aim. To analyze and summarize publications on the use of electrical stimulation of acupuncture points in treatment of arterial hypertension, to evaluate the effectiveness, safety and characteristics of the therapeutic effect.

Methods. Review of publications in Russian and foreign electronic libraries for the period from 1990 to 2023 with a selection of original articles and results of clinical studies published in peer-reviewed journals on the results of the use of electrical stimulation of acupuncture points in the treatment of arterial hypertension in randomized conditions with control groups.

Results. The studies included in the review indicate the hypotensive effect of electrical stimulation of acupuncture points.

Conclusion. Electrical stimulation of acupuncture points may be an effective and safe treatment for hypertension. Future planned studies will provide more detailed information.
