“…In Germany, the NADA (National Acupuncture Detoxification Association) society was founded in 1993. According to the NADA protocol thin disposable steel needles are inserted at 3–5 points (= point areas) at both ears at a depth of 2-3 mm: autonomic, shen men, kidney, liver, and lung [ 5 ]. An essential difference of the NADA protocol in contrast to conventional acupuncture represents the group setting: patients are offered auricular acupuncture sessions at fixed time schedules in a group therapy at a high frequency (up to daily).…”

“…The acceptance of passive participation in the group and, thus, the nonconfrontative design are main characteristics. Even special trained medical staff members are allowed to perform auricular acupuncture [ 5 ].

Background. Due to an increasing number of elderly people suffering from major depression and potential side effects of the prescribed drugs, the introduction of new therapeutic approaches is needed. Currently, in Germany, auricular acupuncture is no part of clinical care for gerontopsychiatric patients. Based on promising clinical experiences and existing evidence for treating addiction and trauma, a benefit of auricular acupuncture integrated in existing treatment programs in elderly patients may be hypothesized. Within this project auricular acupuncture according to the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) will be integrated in the multimodal treatment regime for elderly patients with major depression in a daytime ward setting. Methods/Design. To evaluate the feasibility and acceptance a mixed method approach is used. In a day clinic, a sample of 20 psychogeriatric patients with the diagnosis of major depression will be enrolled. The patients will receive a total of nine auricular acupuncture treatments according to the standardized NADA protocol in a group setting. The therapeutic process, its organization, the experience, and the willingness of patients to participate will be evaluated by interviews with patients and the therapeutic team. Data will be analyzed qualitatively using content analysis. Additionally, quantitative outcome parameters will be measured by standardized questionnaires.
