[Cerebro-autonomic correlations in patients with early stages of hypertension during reflexotherapy].

Abstract

Seventy patients with Stages I and II hypertensive disease underwent electrocardiographic studies of the emotional syndrome and central hemodynamics prior to and following reflexotherapy. Characteristics of the psychovegetative syndrome were identified in the patients. A significant antihypertensive effect and normalized psychological and vegetative parameters observed after reflexotherapy suggest that acupuncture is beneficial in the treatment at early stages of essential hypertension.
