简要总结
This randomized controlled trial examines the effects of nurse-led self-acupressure at HT7, LI4, PC6, and EX3 points on blood pressure, stress, and well-being in adults with primary hypertension. Participants are randomized to real acupressure, sham acupressure, or usual care groups for 2 weeks.

研究组 & 干预措施
Real Acupressure Group
participants receive acupressure on bilateral HT7,LI4,PC6 EX3 points. pressure applied for 15 seconds per point, 3 days per week, for 2 weeks
干预措施: Real Acupressure (Behavioral)
sham/placebo
Participants receive sham acupressure on non-acupoints located 1-1.5 cm away from HT7, LI4 , PC6, and EX3 points. Pressure applied for 15 seconds per site, 3 days per week, for 2 weeks to maintain participant blinding
干预措施: sham acupressure (Behavioral)
control
Participants receive usual care for hypertension including prescribed antihypertensive medications and routine clinical nursing follow-up for 2 weeks. No acupressure intervention applied.
干预措施: Usual Care (Other)
