Abstract

This review summaries the available research on nuclear magnetic resonance to show the Auriculotherapy (AA) effect in human brains. Through search and analysis of clinical research in the PubMed/MEDLINE database, available related articles up to January 2023 were used only in English. This overview is not comprehensive and is due to be predominantly informative. A total of 4 trials met our inclusion criteria and were included in the quality analysis. Electrical stimulations were more frequent (3 studies) than needles (1 study). The above research delivers insufficient evidence that the AA at different points led to other brain structures' modulation. Although, the brain structures activated by the AA seems to overlap territories belonging to the anxiety's neurobiology. The endeavor to link the AA mechanisms to the cranial nerves combined with an embryological approach is promising. Nevertheless, additional studies with imaging, different AA techniques, and auricular points are necessary to provide evidence for this effect on mental health.

概述耳疗焦虑症作为循证医学:简要概述

本文综述了核磁共振在人脑听觉治疗中的作用。通过在PubMed/MEDLINE数据库中搜索和分析临床研究，截至2023年1月，可用的相关文章仅使用英文。本概述并不全面，主要是提供信息。共有4项试验符合我们的纳入标准，并被纳入质量分析。电刺激（3项研究）比针刺（1项研究）更频繁。上述研究没有提供足够的证据表明AA在不同的点导致其他大脑结构的调节。尽管如此，AA激活的大脑结构似乎与属于焦虑神经生物学的区域重叠。将AA机制与颅神经联系起来的努力与胚胎学方法相结合是有希望的。然而，有必要对影像学、不同的AA技术和耳穴进行额外的研究，为这种对心理健康的影响提供证据。
