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.
However, the TENS group demonstrated a greater reduction in SBP and DBP, while the EMS group showed better improvement in heart rate control. The findings suggest that both treatments are effective non-pharmacological options for managing hypertension, with TENS being more effective overall in lowering blood pressure. These modalities may offer supportive benefits in long-term hypertension management strategies.

| Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) | Diagnostic Test | EMS is a form of electrotherapy that causes muscle contractions through electrical impulses delivered via surface electrodes. In this study, patients in Group 2 received EMS therapy to investigate its effect on hemodynamic parameters in individuals with hypertension. |
