Electroacupuncture effects in canine hypertension remain preclinical; leaves open translation of opioid-mediated BP reduction to human trials.
Does electroacupuncture reduce blood pressure in dogs with experimental hypertension?
Electroacupuncture reduces norepinephrine-induced hypertension in conscious dogs via endogenous opioid peptide-mediated inhibition of sympathetic vasoconstrictor tone.
Li et al. (1983) studied this question.
