Long-Lasting Reduction of Blood Pressure by Electroacupuncture in Patients with Hypertension: Randomized Controlled Trial.
Peng Li,Stephanie C. Tjen-A-Looi,Ling Cheng,Dongmei Liu,Jeannette Painovich,Sivarama Prasad Vinjamury,John C. Longhurst +6 more
TL;DR: Electroacupuncture at select acupoints reduces blood pressure in hypertensive patients and underlying mechanisms of acupuncture with plasma norepinephrine, renin, and aldosterone systems were likely related to the long-lasting EA actions.
Journal ArticleDOI
What do we understand from clinical and mechanistic studies on acupuncture treatment for hypertension
TL;DR: The long-lasting inhibition of sympathetic activity by EA was confirmed in EA-treated hypertensive patients with decreased levels of norepinephrine, renin and aldosterone, and was related to opioids and GABA in the rVLM, neural circuitry between the arcuate and ventrolateral periaqueductal gray, and prolongation of the increase in preproenkephalin mRNA levels.

Moxibustion Modulates Sympathoexcitatory Cardiovascular Reflex Responses Through Paraventricular Nucleus
Ling Cheng,Peng Li,Yash Patel,Yiwei Gong,Zhi-Ling Guo,Huangan Wu,Shaista Malik,Stephanie C. Tjen-A-Looi +7 more
TL;DR: Activation of peripheral heat sensitive TRPV1 mediated the moxibustion-inhibition, but not EA-in inhibition, of sympathoexcitatory cardiovascular reflex responses through hypothalamic PVN opioid system.
