简介：
Overview
This protocol investigates the effectiveness of auricular pressure beam therapy for relieving wheezing symptoms in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is a cost-effective and straightforward technique with a high safety profile.
Key Study Components
Area of Science
- Neuroscience
- Respiratory Therapy
- Acupuncture Techniques
Background
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common respiratory condition.
- Wheezing is a prevalent symptom in stable COPD patients.
- Auricular acupressure is a non-invasive therapy option.
- This study presents a novel adjuvant therapy for COPD management.
Purpose of Study
- To evaluate the effectiveness of auricular pressure beam therapy.
- To assess the safety and cost-effectiveness of the technique.
- To provide a new therapeutic option for stable COPD patients.
Methods Used
- Gather cotton balls saturated with 75% ethanol and sterile forceps.
- Sieve spherical Vaccaria segetalis seeds to obtain seeds two millimeters in diameter.
- Implement auricular pressure beam therapy on patients.
- Monitor wheezing symptoms and overall patient response.
Main Results
- Auricular pressure beam therapy significantly reduced wheezing symptoms.
- The technique demonstrated a high safety profile with minimal risk of infection.
- Patients reported improved quality of life post-therapy.
- Cost-effectiveness was confirmed in the clinical setting.
Conclusions
- Auricular acupressure is an effective adjuvant therapy for stable COPD.
- This method is easy to implement and safe for patients.
- Further studies are recommended to explore long-term benefits.
What is auricular acupressure?
Auricular acupressure is a non-invasive therapy that applies pressure to specific points on the ear to relieve symptoms.
