Objective To explore the effect of the combined therapy of ear pressure beans and hyperbaric oxygen on senile depression and the scores from Geriatric Depression Scale （GDS）. Methods 116 cases of elderly depression treated in Linyi City Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from March, 2008 to Sep- tember, 2012 were randomly and evenly divided into the control group and the observation group. The control group received conventional antidepression treatment and nursing care, and the observation group underwent the combined therapy of ear pressure beans and hyperbaric oxygen in addition to the routine therapy. At the end of the treatments, the scores of GDS in both groups were statistically analyzed, and the adverse reactions were compared. Results The scores of GDS and the incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group were found significantly lower than those in the control group （ P 〈0.01）. Conclu- sion The combined therapy of ear pressure beans and hyperbaric oxygen can produce obvious curative effects on elderly depression without causing any serious adverse reactions.
