Abstract

An international gathering of world experts in the field of auricular acupuncture met in Singapore in August of 2017 to present the most recent research and clinical findings in this domain of alternative health care. Opening sessions summarized the neurophysiological research that has highlighted the importance of auricular portions of the vagus nerve in understanding the basis for both physiological and clinical benefits that have been observed with auriculotherapy. The alleviation of multiple medical symptoms by transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation was featured in several studies. Evaluation of recent journal articles in both China and in the West has provided continued support for the clinical benefits of auricular acupuncture. Randomized controlled trials have shown statistically significant improvements in chronic pain, osteoarthritis, post-stroke syndrome, and drug abuse disorders. Active ear points related to body pathology have been observed in newborn infants as well as adults. As such international symposiums often conclude, continued research to further evaluate the advanced application of auriculotherapy is an essential goal Received: July 3

在新加坡举行的国际耳疗研讨会上耳针临床应用的进展

2017年8月，耳穴针灸领域的世界专家在新加坡召开了一次国际会议，展示了这一替代医疗保健领域的最新研究和临床发现。开幕会议总结了神经生理学研究，这些研究强调了迷走神经耳部在理解耳穴治疗所观察到的生理和临床益处的基础上的重要性。经皮耳迷走神经刺激可减轻多种医学症状。对中国和西方近期期刊文章的评估为耳穴针灸的临床益处提供了持续的支持。随机对照试验显示，在慢性疼痛、骨关节炎、中风后综合征和药物滥用障碍方面有统计学上显著的改善。与身体病理相关的活动耳穴已在新生儿和成人中观察到。正如此类国际研讨会经常得出的结论，继续研究以进一步评估耳疗法的先进应用是一个重要目标
