Operational procedures of auricular point sticking technology

As an external treatment technique of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),auricular point sticking,which is rooted in holographic biology theory and TCM viscera and meridian theory,is a safe and effective treatment method.This article introduces the technology overview and development process.The auricular point sticking technique for constipation is taken as an example to specify the basic requirements,assessment,operational points,acupoint selection and matters needing attention during the implementation of the auricular acupressure technique,providing a reference for the operating procedures of this technique in the clinical treatment of other diseases such as insomnia,diarrhea,colds,hypertension,headache,and dysmenorrhea.

Clinical Effect of Auricular Point Sticking in Patients with Lung Cancer Receiving Chemotherapy

Objective:To discuss and analyze the clinical effect of auricular point sticking in lung cancer chemotherapy.Methods:Sixty-two patients with lung cancer treated with chemotherapy in Suqian Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Jiangxi Province were selected for case evaluation and analysis.The time span of the research was from June 2020 to June 2021.The patients were divided into two groups:a study group(n=31)and a control group(n=31)based on their medical record numbers.All the patients were treated with conventional western medicine before and after chemotherapy to prevent adverse reactions;however,the patients in the study group were also treated with auricular point sticking in addition to the fonner.The relevant indexes of the two groups were compared.Results:The incidence of adverse reactions was significantly lower in the study group compared to the control group(P<0.05);the rate of symptomatic relief of the patients in the study group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05);the stress response indexes toward chemotherapy of the study group were better than those of the control group(P<0.05)・Conclusion:Auricular point sticking for patients with lung cancer who are receiving chemotherapy can reduce the incidence of adverse reactions,alleviate clinical symptoms,such as chest distress,asthma,and poor appetite,significantly alleviate stress response caused by chemotherapy,as well as promote the treatment effect;thus,it is worthy of promotion.

耳穴贴压治疗儿童弱视疗效观察

目的:比较耳穴贴压与常规西医综合疗法治疗儿童弱视的疗效差异。方法:将230例弱视患儿随机分为两组,耳压组120例(212眼)采用王不留行籽贴压耳穴眼、神门、肝、脾、肾等治疗,综合组110例(194眼)运用西医常规综合疗法治疗,包括遮盖法、配镜矫正及家庭精细作业训练。分别观察两组患儿视力改善情况,并随访3年。结果:屈光不正性弱视耳压组、综合组有效率分别为81.0%(64/79)、52.2%(36/69);屈光参差性弱视耳压组、综合组有效率分别为73.1%(49/67)、47.7%(31/65);斜视性弱视耳压组、综合组有效率分别为71.2%(47/66)、45.0%(27/60),各类型弱视耳压组的疗效均优于综合组(均P<0.05)。结论:耳穴贴压治疗儿童弱视疗效优于西医常规综合疗法,可明显改善患儿的视力情况,且操作简便。
