“…Gynecologic surgery is often followed by gastrointestinal disturbances and even symptoms of bowel paralysis. However, gastrointestinal dysfunction belongs to the categories of 'fullness',' bloating 'in Chinese medicine, which holds that surgical trauma, meridian incompetence, reverse disturbance of Qi machine, lifting and falling imbalance, and then leading to blockage of the operation of Qi and blood [17][18]. Qi stagnation in the trijiao, loss of warmth as well as the function of carrying blood, blood resistance to cold then coagulation, blood stasis in meridians, and then lead to the dysregulation of gastrointestinal function.…”

To analyze the clinical efficacy of finger points combined with anisole encapsulation in rapid recovery after gynecologic surgery. Forty patients who underwent gynecological surgery in our hospital from August 2021 to August 2022 were selected, and the patients were divided into control (n = 17) and treatment (n = 23) groups according to the random number table method. In the control group, patients were given conventional treatments, including early postoperative water intake, feeding, early removal of urinary tubes, and active double lower extremities. Treatment groups were given the patients finger points combined with anisole encapsulation treatment on the basis of the control group. Patients in both groups were analyzed for improvement in clinical symptoms, pain at various time periods after surgery, postoperative rehabilitation, satisfaction with treatment, and effectiveness rates. Time to recovery of bowel sounds, time to flatus, time to defecation, time to disappearance of abdominal pain due to abdominal distension, and hospital stay were shorter in the study group compared with the control group (P < 0.05); The VAS scores of the treated patients were lower than those of the control group at 12 h after surgery (P > 0.05) in both groups, and at 24 h and 48 h after surgery (P < 0.05); Patients in the treatment group had higher scores for physical functioning, social functioning, and physical functioning, as well as for somatic pain, compared with the control group (P < 0.05); Patients in the treatment group had higher reliability, empathy, tangibles, responsiveness, and assurance scores compared to the control group (P < 0.05); After treatment, the overall response rate of the treatment group was 95.65%, which was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than that of the control group (70.58%). The use of finger points combined with anisole encapsulation to treat patients with gynaecological surgery can effectively shorten the hours' time of patients' clinical symptoms, reduce the degree of postoperative pain, and promote the rapid recovery of patients after surgery, with a better clinical treatment effect.

“…At present, although several randomized controlled studies have shown that auricular therapy can reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal discomfort after gynecological laparoscopic surgery to a certain extent and the degree of gastrointestinal discomfort. [ 9 , 10 ] However, there are still many studies questioning the effectiveness of auricular therapy, [ 11 , 12 ] and there are differences in the existing clinical trials in terms of research scheme and efficacy evaluation, resulting in uneven research results, which to some extent affects the reliability of research results and the promotion of this therapy. Therefore, this study brings into a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of auricular therapy for gastrointestinal dysfunction after gynecological laparoscopic surgery, to objectively evaluate its effectiveness and safety, and to provide an effective basis for clinical promotion.…”

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
