Abstract：Objective To observe the antihypertensive effect of balanced acupuncture in patients with essential hypertension(EH),and provide evidence for the clinical application of balanced acupuncture in treating EH.Methods EH patients(n=50)were chosen and given a descriptive study from the Outpatient Department in the Seventh Medical Center,Chinese PLA General Hospital from Oct.2020 to July 2022.All patients were treated with balanced acupuncture for reducing blood pressure(BP)3 times a week with 10 times as one treatment course for 3 courses continuously.The BP changes were recorded before treatment and given a statistical analysis in patients.Results The analysis results showed that systolic blood pressure(SBP)and diastolic blood pressure(DBP)decreased gradually as the increases of treatment time in all patients.After treatment for 10 weeks,SBP decreased averagely by 27.39 mmHg and DBP decreased by 24.69 mmHg(P＜0.05),and the total effective rate was 100%and antihypertensive compliance rate was 78%compared with before treatment.Conclusion The balanced acupuncture can effectively reduce BP in EH patients with the characteristics of rapid and gentle antihypertensive efficacy.The continuous intervention of balanced acupuncture has a long-term antihypertensive effect and can be applied broadly.
