Summary

This study tests a non-invasive device that uses gentle electrical stimulation on the brain to see if it can safely lower blood pressure in people with mild hypertension. Sixty adults aged 30-65 with mild high blood pressure will receive either real or sham stimulation for 20 minutes daily over two weeks. The main goal is to see if the treatment reduces average 24-hour blood pressure.

Active substance: temporal interference stimulation (non-invasive brain stimulation device)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a drug-free option to help control mild high blood pressure.
