“…Benzodiazepines -medication of the anxiolytic class -are the most prescribed drugs in the world, perhaps due to the growth of diagnoses of mental disorders in the population. 2,8 Another aggravating factor to consider is that about 45% of the world population is in countries where there one psychiatrist for every 100 thousand inhabitants, and because of lack of qualified professionals, these drugs are also prescribed by gynecologists, general practitioners, dermatologists and endocrinologists. It is known that the growing use of psychotropic drugs, most of the times without necessity, and the damages caused to individuals, results in the need for complementary care that addresses the disease, prevents injuries and treats the individual as a whole.…”

Objetivo: investigar o uso da auriculoterapia no tratamento da ansiedade e depressão. Método: trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, de 2013 a 2018, realizada nos meses de julho e agosto de 2018, nas bases de dados MEDLINE, CINAHL, LILACS, SCOPUS e biblioteca virtual SCIELO. Analisaram-se os dados empregando a estatística descritiva com número e percentual. Resultados: constatou-se que o instrumento de coleta dos dados, a quantidade de sessões, os pontos auriculares e material utilizado para estimulá-los foram diferentes, felizmente não foram considerados fatores limitantes. Conclusão: evidenciou-se que o ponto da ansiedade, proposto pela auriculoterapia baseada na escola francesa, não foi estimulado em nenhum estudo. Complementa-se que a falta de consenso e a não especificação do mapa auricular ou vertente seguido acaba por dificultar a produção de novos estudos. Descritores: Auriculoterapia; Ansiedade; Depressão; Terapias Complementares; Saúde Mental; Medicina Tradicional Chinesa.Abstract Objective: to investigate the use of auriculotherapy in the treatment of anxiety and depression. Method: this is an integrative review of the literature, from 2013 to 2018, carried out in the months of July and August of 2018, in the following databases: MEDLINE, CINAHL, LILACS, SCOPUS and SCIELO virtual library. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics with numbers and percentage. Results: it was found that the data collection instrument, the number of sessions, the auricular points, and the material used to stimulate them were different; fortunately none was considered a limiting factor. Conclusion: It was evidenced that the point of anxiety, proposed by auriculotherapy based on the French school, was not stimulated in any study. In addition, the lack of consensus and lack of specification of the auricular map or strand followed complicate the production of new studies.

Método: se trata de una revisión integradora de la literatura, de 2013 a 2018, llevada a cabo en los meses de julio y agosto de 2018 en las bases de datos: MEDLINE, CINAHL, LILACS, SCOPUS y biblioteca virtual SCIELO. Los datos se analizaron empleando la estadística descriptiva con número y porcentaje. Resultados: se verificó que el instrumento de recolección de datos, la cantidad de sesiones, los puntos auriculares y el material utilizado para estimularlos eran diferentes, pero afortunadamente no se consideraron factores limitantes. Conclusión: se evidenció que el punto de ansiedad, propuesto por la auriculoterapia basada en la escuela francesa, no fue estimulado en ningún estudio. Se complementa que la falta de consenso y la no especificación del mapa auricular o vertiente seguidos obstaculizan la producción de nuevos estudios.

“…In addition, the insula acting as a limbic-related cortex showed widespread activation to US and MA at ST 36. e previous study implicates that the insula is associated with self-referential processing in lower emotional awareness in patients with functional movement disorders [25]. Moreover, acupuncture at acupoints is a promising treatment for emotion [38]. However, there is a need for exploring the association between emotion-related diseases and US at acupoints.…”

Background. Clinical and experimental data suggest that ultrasound stimulation (US) at acupoints can produce similar effective treatment compared to manual acupuncture (MA). Although the brain activation to MA at acupoints is investigated by numerous studies, the brain activation to US at acupoints remains unclear. Methods. In the present work, we employed task state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to explore the human brain’s activation to US and MA at ST 36 (Zusanli) which is one of the most commonly used acupoints in acupuncture-related studies. 16 healthy subjects underwent US and MA procedures in an interval of more than one week. On-off block design stimulation was used for the recording of fMRI-related brain patterns. Results. Both US and MA at ST 36 produced activations in somatosensory and limbic/paralimbic regions (postcentral gyrus, insula, middle prefrontal cortex, and anterior cingulate cortex). Only US at ST 36 produced a significant signal increase in the inferior parietal lobule and decrease in the posterior cingulate cortex, whereas MA at ST 36 produced a significant signal increase in the lentiform nucleus and cerebellum. Conclusions. Our results indicate that US may be a possible noninvasive alternative method to MA due to its similar activation patterns.

“…Auricular acupuncture for 4 weeks significantly decreased tension, anxiety, anger, and aggression in psychiatric patients, as assessed by the visual analogue scales [ 30 ]. An integrative review from 2016 found 19 articles with 11 of them generally supporting the use of acupuncture to reduce anxiety [ 31 ]. Nonetheless, this review article still has some risk of bias.…”

Effects of single-point acupuncture (HT7) in the prevention of test anxiety: Results of a RCT

2018

BackgroundThe number of students using neuro enhancement to improve their performance and to prevent test anxiety is increasing. The acupuncture point Heart 7 (HT7) has been described as being prominent in reducing states of anxiety.MethodsWe conducted a randomized placebo-controlled, two-armed pilot trial to investigate the efficacy of a single-point acupuncture treatment at bilateral HT7 compared to sham laser acupuncture on test anxiety. Test anxiety was induced applying the standardised protocol of the Trier Social Stress Test. Outcome measures included saliva samples analysed for cortisol and amylase, anxiety questionnaires and heart rate variability.ResultsTwenty-five male subjects (age 28 ± 5 years) were allocated to either verum acupuncture (n = 12) or sham laser acupuncture (n = 13). Cortisol peaked 20 min after the stress test (2-fold, 18.11 ± 2 nmol/l) and amylase 10 min after (2-fold, 259 ± 49 U/ml) with no difference between groups. There were no differences between groups regarding either anxiety questionnaires or physiological parameters. Compared to reference data (3-fold increase in cortisol), increase in stress hormones and heart rate seemed somewhat reduced.ConclusionsAcupuncture may be a possible approach for the treatment of anxiety. Due to the lack of a no control treatment group, we cannot determine the magnitude of possible specific needle effects at HT7 to promote specific effects in the neuroendocrine system. Finally this study only examines the efficacy of a single time treatment.
