Key result
Low-level tragus stimulation may offer a broader cardioprotective potential and blood pressure reduction in patients with hypertension by triggering a complex systemic response.
Why the study?
Does low-level tragus stimulation reduce blood pressure in patients with primary hypertension?
Does low-level tragus stimulation reduce blood pressure in patients with primary hypertension?
Low-level tragus stimulation is highlighted as a potential non-pharmacological tool for blood pressure reduction and broader cardioprotection.
Low-level tragus stimulation (LL-TS) as a noninvasive technique of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) moves to the fore in the autonomic nervous system (ANS) studies as a nondrug based, easy applicable tool. LL-TS triggering a complex systemic response may offer a broader cardioprotective potential than expected as a recent investigation outlined blood pressure (BP) reduction by LL-TS in patients with hypertension, which is commonly related to imbalance of the ANS as several other cardiovascular diseases.

Umut Paket (2025) conducted an editorial in Primary hypertension. Low-level tragus stimulation (LL-TS) was evaluated on Blood pressure reduction. Low-level tragus stimulation may offer a broader cardioprotective potential and blood pressure reduction in patients with hypertension by triggering a complex systemic response.
