Cardio-Cerebral Protective Effect of Moxibustion on Phlegm-Dampness Type Hypertension: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypertension is associated with a high rate of disability and mortality and leads to a substantial socioeconomic burden. Moxibustion is an external treatment in traditional Chinese medicine that has been used to treat mild to moderate hypertension in individuals with phlegm-dampness constitution and has demonstrated acupoint specificity. However, a standard large-scale randomized controlled trial is still needed to verify its effectiveness. This study is proposed to examine the clinical effectiveness and potential cardioprotective benefits of moxibustion performed at home as a treatment for individuals with phlegm-dampness hypertension.

Objective

The objective of this trial is to evaluate the cardio-cerebral protective clinical efficacy of moxibustion for phlegm-d
