NCT ID NCT06953115
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive physiotherapy technique that stimulates the vagus nerve can help lower blood pressure in pregnant women with preeclampsia. About 210 women will receive either standard blood pressure medication alone or medication plus this gentle therapy. The goal is to see if adding the therapy improves blood pressure control and reduces complications for both mother and baby.
