Clinical Trial Summary

To compare between the effects of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation and TENS on blood pressure and quality of life in patients with primary hypertension BACKGROUND: The current American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) 2017 guidelines define hypertension as systolic BP (SBP) of ≥130 mmHg or diastolic BP (DBP) of ≥80 mmHg. In adults, an increase of 20 mmHg in SBP or 10 mmHg in DBP is associated with more than a two-fold increase in mortality owing to stroke and other cardiovascular diseases. Hypertension accounts for 13% of premature deaths worldwide and is the third leading cause of disability-adjusted life years (Shah et al., 2022). Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation of the Neiguan (P6) point with acupressure is possibly affecting the blood pressure by protecting the myocardial tissues and influencing the nervous system through regulating the autonomic nervous system function and reduction in sympathetic activity. (Hassanein et al., 2021). HYPOTHESES There will be no a significant difference between the effects of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation and TENS on blood pressure and quality of life in patients with primary hypertension RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there a significant difference between the effects of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation and TENS on blood pressure and quality of life in patients with primary hypertension? Evaluating equipment, pre-post intervension outcomes: 1. BP by Digital Sphygmomanometer 2. quality of life by The SF-12 health status questionnaire 3. nitric oxide level in blood by nitric Oxide analysis. 4. sleep quality. by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) 5. exercise capacity and endurance by Thirty-Second Sit-To-Stand Test (30 STST)
