The treatment of hypertension may be accomplished by stimulation of the carotid baroreceptors. In the present application the inventors disclose methods in which non- invasively-delivered mechanical perturbations caused by sound, ultrasound, or electrical perturbations caused by magnetic, or direct current stimulation may be used to stimulate the carotid baroreceptors, triggering physiological responses that treat medical disorders including hypertension. |
