The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of remote ischemic conditioning in the treatment of essential hypertension.
Current studies have shown that remote ischemic conditioning can improve vascular endothelial function, inhibit sympathetic nervous system activity and regulate immune and inflammatory reactions. Thus it may exert anti-hypertensive effects through multiple mechanisms. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of remote ischemic conditioning on blood pressure patients with essential hypertension.

Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is induced by 4 cycles of 5 min of upper limb ischemia followed by 5 min reperfusion. Limb ischemia was induced by inflation of a blood pressure cuff to 200 mm Hg.
Sham-RIC is induced by 4 cycles of 5 min of upper limb ischemia followed by 5 min reperfusion. Limb ischemia was induced by inflation of a blood pressure cuff to 60 mm Hg.
