The Intervention Study Of Electro-acupuncture In Quchi, Taichong On Blood Pressure Variability Of Patients With Essential Hypertension

Objective: To observe intervention of Electro-acupuncture in Quchi, Taichong on Blood Pressure Variability of patients with Essential Hypertension.Method: 60 cases of patients with EH were randomly divided into two groups,and separately treated with two prescriptions:electro-acupuncture in Quchi, Taichong and oral captopril separately.Observe for 24-hours,day-time, night-time average of the three periods of SBP and DBP and BPV and observe the changes in BPCR.Results: 1. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure of the treatment group and control group before and after treatment each time are significantly different (P <0.01); but comparing the two groups after treatment there was no difference. 2. The systolic and diastolic BPV indicators of the treatment group each time have significant difference before and after (P <0.01, P <0.05); control group, dSSD, dDSD, nDSD compared before and after the treatment has significant difference (P <0.01); after treatment treatment group and control group 24hSSD, 24hDSD, dSSD, nSSD, nDSD contrast has significant difference (P <0.01, P <0.05). 3. Dippers after treatment the two groups with the proportion of non-dipper byχ2 test, P <0.05, comparing the two groups have significant differences. Conclusion: Electro-acupuncture in Quchi,Taichong have the long-term antihypertensive effect more obviously, can improve 24hSSD, 24hDSD, dSSD, nSSD, nDSD and improv BPCR of EH patients, refect it back to dipper. It's one simple and effective method to treatment EH.
