title: [The clinical efficacy of auricular electroacupuncture in treating hypertension patients].
abstract: Auricular electroacupuncture using 10 Hz alternating impulse current generated by Rampa-2 apparatus has been employed to treat 98 patients with essential hypertension stage I-II. The treatment resulted in the fall of both systolic and diastolic pressure (p less than 0.01). The symptoms relieved in stage I hypertension by 66 +/- 2.4%, in patients with stage II by 57 +/- 1.1%, thus allowing discontinuation of the drugs in the former group and reduction of their intake in the latter one.
