What it would require, however, would be for you to find a specific doctor that is available in most cities and towns around the world. Also, for a weird reason, you may or may not want to participate.<\/p>\n
Researchers at the University of California-Irvine wanted to establish whether electro-acupuncture could lower blood pressure. <\/p>\n
For subjects, they used 65 hypertensive people with a systolic reading of between 140 and 180 and a diastolic reading of between 90 and 99. None of these subjects were taking blood pressure medication.<\/p>\n
They randomly assigned their subjects to one of two groups. The first received electro-acupuncture treatment on their inner wrists and legs just below their knees, and the second group received it on their forearms and lower legs.<\/p>\n
The researchers had hypothesized that the first group might experience a drop-in blood pressure, as previous studies had identified those acupoints as the ones that are most likely to decrease blood pressure when stimulated with needles.<\/p>\n
This was indeed the case, and 70% of the subjects had systolic readings that dropped by six to eight points and diastolic readings that dropped by four points. <\/p>\n
Even better, the effect lasted for six weeks following an eight-week treatment of one 30-minute session weekly.<\/p>\n
The subjects who responded well received follow-up monthly treatments for a period of six months and their blood pressure dropped even further. The research was published in the journal Medical Acupuncture<\/em>.<\/p>\n Electro-acupuncture stimulates the same points on your body as traditional acupuncture, but the needles that the practitioner inserts through your skin would be attached to a device that produces low-intensity electrical pulses. The frequency and intensity of the pulses are adjustable, depending on the condition for which you are receiving the treatment for and your own sensitivity to it.<\/p>\n
