Objective To investigate the efficacy of auricular point plaster therapy for eustachian tube dysfunction. Method Sixty patients with eustachian tube dysfunction were allocated, in order of visits, to an observation group （auricular point magnetic bead plaster therapy plus syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine） and a control group （syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine）. The therapeutic effects were compared. Result The cure rate and the total efficacy rate were 53.3% and 90.0%, respectively, in the observation group and 30.0% and 76.7%, respectively, in the control group. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups. Conclusion Treatment based on auricular point magnetic bead plaster therapy plus syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is more effective than treatment based on syndrome differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine alone in treating eustachian tube dysfunction.
