To Determine the Effectiveness of TENS vs EMS on Hemodynamics Parameters of Hypertension
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 25 Jun 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study aimed to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) on hemodynamic parameters in patients with hypertension. A total of 42 hypertensive patients were randomly divided into two equal groups: Group A received TENS, and Group B received EMS, over a period of four weeks. Pre- and post-treatment measurements of systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and heart rate (HR) were recorded. Results showed that both TENS and EMS produced significant improvements in all parameters within their respective groups.
