Auricular therapy improves gastrointestinal function in patients with gynecological laparoscopic surgery

Abstract

Background: Gynecological laparoscopic surgery is the main method to treat gynecological diseases, but postoperative gastrointestinal reactions are more common in patients. Auricular therapy, as a characteristic therapy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, can improve gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and vomiting by stimulating the conduction of acupoints through the nervous system on internal organs, but there are studies questioning the efficacy of auricular therapy. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to prove the efficacy and safety of auricular therapy in promoting gastrointestinal function recovery after gynecological laparoscopic surgery, and to provide reference value for future clinical practice. Methods: To search English databases (PubMed, Excerpta Medical Database [Embase], Web of Science, the Cochrane Library) and Chinese databases (Chinese National Knowledge Internet [CNKI], WanFang, Viper, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database) by computer, and conduct a randomized controlled trial on the effect of aural point therapy on gastrointestinal function recovery of patients after gynecological laparoscopic surgery from the establishment of the database to October 2020. Two researchers independently evaluate the quality of the included studies and extract the data, and meta-analysis of the included literature is carried out using RevMan5.3 software. Results: In this study, the efficacy and safety of auricular therapy in the recovery of gastrointestinal function after gynecological laparoscopic surgery are evaluated from the aspects of first anal exhaust time, bowel sound recovery time, and incidence of gastrointestinal complications. Conclusion: This study will provide reliable evidence-based evidence for auricular therapy in the treatment of gastrointestinal function after gynecologic laparoscopic surgery. Ethics and dissemination: Private information from individuals will not be published. This systematic review also does not involve endangering participant rights. Ethical approval was not required. The results may be published in a peer-reviewed journal or disseminated at relevant conferences. OSF Registration number: DOI 10.17605 / OSF.IO / ZSPGA

Influencing Factors of Gastrointestinal Function Recovery after Gastrointestinal Malignant Tumor

“…Many scholars at home and abroad have conducted in-depth research on the influencing factors of gastrointestinal function recovery. For example, Bozkurt Koseoglu et al found through research that the ERAS concept can not only speed up the recovery of patients after surgery but also improve patients' recovery and quality of life [ 5 ]; Cao et al found that moxibustion is better than Western medicine nursing treatment [ 6 ]; Hu et al found through experiments that acupuncture and moxibustion are helpful for the early recovery of gastrointestinal function after surgery [ 7 ].…”

Auricular acupressure in relieving PONV and promoting gastrointestinal function recovery in females after bariatric surgery: study protocol for a prospective multicenter randomized controlled trial

“…How to make the perioperative period of the sleeve stomach smoother for patients and improve patient satisfaction in hospital is now a growing concern. And auricular pressure as a noninvasive, fast-acting, easy-to-use and inexpensive treatment modality has been used after laparoscopic surgery, mainly gynaecological laparoscopy, to relieve PONV [25] .…”
