Effect of needling at an acupuncture point zusanli (ST-36) on blood pressure and heart rate variability in patients with hypertension: A randomized placebo-controlled study
Background
Acupuncture is a traditional healing system used to prevent and treat hypertension in many countries. Acupuncture point “Zusanli (ST-36)” is used to nourish blood and yin. However, no known studies reported the effect of needling at only ST-36 on cardiovascular parameters.
Objectives
This study was performed to find the effectiveness of ST-36 on blood pressure (BP) and heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with hypertension.
Methods
A total of 100 participants with primary hypertension aged between 30 years and70 years were randomly assigned into either acupuncture group (AG) or control group (CG). AG underwent only one session of bilateral needling at ST-36 acupuncture point for duration of 20 minutes, while the CG underwent only one session of bilateral needling at non-acupuncture point for the same duration.
Results
Results of the study showed a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure, pulse pressure and mean arterial pressure in the AG compared to the CG. In addition, a significant increase in intervals between adjacent QRS complexes (R-R interval), and a significant reduction in heart rate were observed in AG, unlike CG.
Conclusions
Needling at ST-36 acupuncture point may improve cardiovascular function better than needling at non-acupuncture points in patients with hypertension.
期刊介绍：
Advances in Integrative Medicine (AIMED) is an international peer-reviewed, evidence-based research and review journal that is multi-disciplinary within the fields of Integrative and Complementary Medicine. The journal focuses on rigorous quantitative and qualitative research including systematic reviews, clinical trials and surveys, whilst also welcoming medical hypotheses and clinically-relevant articles and case studies disclosing practical learning tools for the consulting practitioner. By promoting research and practice excellence in the field, and cross collaboration between relevant practitioner groups and associations, the journal aims to advance the practice of IM, identify areas for future research, and improve patient health outcomes. International networking is encouraged through clinical innovation, the establishment of best practice and by providing opportunities for cooperation between organisations and communities.
