Narrative: We present the hypothesis underpinning our new, innovative, non-pharmacological method of neuroreflex therapy for arterial hypertension (AH).
The purpose of this publication is to present the scientific rationale for testing the hypothesis that correction of sensory afferentation using the P-DTR method can lead to a sustained reduction in BP in patients with essential hypertension. Rigorous randomised controlled trials designed to evaluate its efficacy and safety are necessary to validate this approach.
This hypothesis is testable and meets the criteria of novelty, offering a new perspective on the therapeutic modulation of the neurogenic component of AH.
