Summary
This study investigates whether Songling Xuemaikang capsules, a traditional Chinese herbal formula, can help people with both high blood pressure (hypertension) and insomnia. About 260 adults aged 18–79 with mild hypertension and sleep difficulties will take either the herbal capsules or a placebo three times daily for 12 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in 24-hour blood pressure and sleep quality to see if the treatment offers dual benefits.
