Introduction: Auricular Acupuncture (AA) is both a diagnostic method and a treatment used to relieve pain and alleviate addictions. The effects and biological mechanisms of AA on the human body have been increasingly observed in clinical and experimental studies based on the gate control theory and the endogenous opioids theory. The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in facial pain thresholds among healthy volunteers after applying AA to acupoints on both auricles. Methods: This was a pilot study with a crossover randomized controlled trial design. 66 healthy volunteers with normal hemodynamic indexes were randomly assigned to one of two groups to receive AA treatment at the Shenmen point, Sympathetic point, Adrenal gland point, Jaw point, and Tooth point of either the left or right auricle (phase 1). 7 days later, participants received sham acupuncture at the same points (phase 2). Results: In phase 1, the results showed that AA at these points in either auricle increased the pain threshold of the facial skin statistically significantly (p<0.05). No statistically significant difference was detected in the sham acupuncture phase. Conclusions: This suggests that AA can be used as a non-pharmacological adjunct to facial pain relief.

Introduction: Auricular acupuncture (AA) is a method of Traditional Medicine that has been used for a long time to treat many diseases, including stroke. This study aimed to examine the effect of auricular acupuncture combined with electro-acupuncture and physiotherapy exercise in the motor rehabilitation of patients with ischemic stroke. Methods: 128 patients after ischemic stroke participated in this RCT, then were randomly assigned to either the AA-study group (auricular acupuncture combined with electro-acupuncture and conventional therapy) or the CT - control group (sham auricular acupuncture combined with electro- acupuncture and conventional therapy). They were treated and monitored for six consecutive weeks. Clinical outcomes were measured using the Barthel Index (BI), Fugl Meyer Assessment (FMA), and Motricity Index (MI) scales at two-time points, including before and six weeks after initiation of the intervention. Results: After six weeks, FMA, BI, and MI scores were significantly higher than before treatment (p < 0.05) in both groups. Specifically, the study group had a statistically significant improvement compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusions: This study shows that auricular acupuncture in combination with electro-acupuncture and physiotherapy exercise was more effective than electro-acupuncture and physiotherapy exercise in improving motor function in patients after ischemic stroke.

Evaluation of postoperative analgesic effect of auricular acupuncture therapy after surgical extraction of mandibular third molar / Minh Man Pham Bui, Dieu Thuong Thi Trinh // MedPharmRes . - 2023. - tr. 11-18. - ISSN: 2615-9139

Introduction: Removing the third molar is a common dental surgery that often results in swelling and discomfort, impacting the patient's wellbeing. Previous studies have shown that auricular acupuncture (AA) can effectively alleviate pain after surgery. This study aimed to assess the pain-relieving benefits of AA for patients undergoing third molar surgery. Methods: A clinical trial using a split-mouth design and double-blind methodology was conducted at the Dental Clinic of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh city between March 2022 and March 2023. Participants had both sides of their third molars extracted, with one side receiving AA in combination with postoperative pain relief medication, and the other side receiving sham AA along with postoperative pain relief medication. Pain levels at 2, 24, 48, and 72 hours after surgery, and the amount of pain medication used was recorded. Additionally, any side effects resulting from the AA treatment were also evaluated. Results: The pain levels measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) decreased over time for both intervention periods after surgery, with statistically significant lower VAS scores observed in the AA time compared to the sham AA time. The amount of 500mg/tablet paracetamol used after the intervention also decreased over time for both periods. At all-time points, the amount of paracetamol used in the AA group was lower than the sham AA group. No adverse effects were reported in either group. Conclusions: AA was effective for relieving pain after madibular third molar surgery and reducing amount of paracetamol tablets.

Survey on change temperature of skin surface when using auricular acupuncture at the Jaw point in each side of the ear in healthy people : A cross-over study / Quoc Kha Vo Huynh, Minh Man Pham Bui, Dieu Thuong Thi Trinh // MedPharmRes . - 2023. - tr. 55-61. - ISSN: 2615-9139

Introduction: Auricular acupuncture (AA) is a method for diagnosing and treating physical and psychosomatic dysfunctions by stimulating a specific point in the ear. Some studies prove that the acupoints on the pinna have a corresponding relationship to areas of the body. According to several studies, acupoints on the body may influence the temperature of the corresponding region. In our study, we surveyed the change in temperature of the skin surface at the mandibular area when using AA at the Jaw point on each side of the ear in healthy people. Methods: A cross-over study with 35 healthy volunteers was conducted in the Acupuncture Experimental Research Lab, Faculty of Traditional Medicine, University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City from November 2021 to May 2022. Temperatures of the mandibular area before and after using auricular acupuncture were recorded. Results: After using AA at the Jaw point on the left, the temperature of the left mandibular area was increased statistically from that before (from 34.34 ± 0.69 to 34.76 ± 0.72). After using AA at the Jaw point on the right, the temperature of the right mandibular area was increased statistically from that before (from 34.50 ± 0.86 to 34.31 ± 0.68). No side effects were observed during the study. Conclusions: When using AA at the Jaw point on the ear, the temperature of the mandibular area on the side of using auricular acupuncture increased statistically, showing the relationship of the Jaw point on the ear with the mandibular area.
