Objetivo: analisar as evidências científicas acerca da efetividade da auriculoterapia nos contextos de saúde. Método: pesquisa de revisão integrativa com abordagem analítica por evidência. Levantamento bibliográfico realizado de janeiro a fevereiro de 2022, em bases de dados, utilizou-se o termo “Auriculoterapia” or “Auriculotherapy’’, sendo selecionado publicações que atendessem aos critérios de inclusão, totalizando 28. Resultados: as categorias temáticas, como aplicações na saúde da mulher e obstetrícia, saúde do trabalhador, em situações de pré e pós-operatório, para controle da analgesia e qualidade de vida e em pacientes oncológicos, resultou em benefícios como diminuição da ansiedade, dor, estresse, e foi associada a melhora na qualidade de vida, e do sono no caso de idosos, e pacientes oncológicos relativos a dor e apetite. Conclusão: esta prática trouxe benefícios para a população dos estudos analisados, tendo aplicação predominante nos quadros de dor nos mais diversos cenários.

Objective To determine acupuncture-related treatments’ effects and duration on improving cognitive function, physical function, and quality of life in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Data sources Eight electronic databases were searched for eligible randomized controlled trials from database inception to January 2021, including Medline, PubMed, EBSCO, Embase, Cochrane, Airiti Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and China Journal Full-text Database. Review methods A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted on acupuncture types, cognitive function, activity of daily life, muscle strength and quality of life. Results Sixty-six studies in total with 4191 participants, the overall risk of bias was classified 60% as low and 24% as high. Acupuncture-related treatments for cognitive function and self-care ability revealed a moderate effect size, with a significant difference in noninvasive and invasive remedies ( p < 0.001). Cognitive function showed significant differences in 6, 8, 12, and 24 weeks while self-care ability in the latter two weeks ( p < 0.001). Meta-regression analysis showed cognitive function increased by 0.05 points ( p = 0.002) and self-care ability decreased by 0.02 points ( p = 0.04) after weekly treatment. There was a significant difference in muscle strength ( p = 0.0003). Conclusion Acupuncture-related treatments effectively improved cognitive function with the treatment lasted 6 weeks at least, but self-care ability started showing effects after 12 weeks of treatment. The improvement of muscle strength was also confirmed. Acupuncture-related treatments, particularly noninvasive ones, have few complications and high safety, perhaps providing patients and caregivers diversified choices and clinical care guidelines for reference.

Aim: To characterize physical exercise programs for older adults in Latin America. Methods: This review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA statement. A search for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between the years 2015 and 2020 was performed in the Scopus, MedLine and SciELO databases. Results: A total of 101 RCTs were included. A large percentage of the studies had an unclear risk of bias in the items: selection, performance, detection and attribution. Furthermore, a heterogeneous level of compliance was observed in the CERT items. A total sample of 5013 older adults (79% women) was included. 97% of the studies included older adults between 60–70 years, presenting an adherence to the interventions of 86%. The studies were mainly carried out in older adults with cardiometabolic diseases. Only 44% of the studies detailed information regarding the place of intervention; of these studies, 61% developed their interventions in university facilities. The interventions were mainly based on therapeutic physical exercise (89% of the articles), with a duration of 2–6 months (95% of the articles) and a frequency of 2–3 times a week (95% of the articles) with sessions of 30–60 min (94% of the articles) led by sports science professionals (51% of the articles). The components of physical fitness that were exercised the most were muscular strength (77% of the articles) and cardiorespiratory fitness (47% of the articles). Furthermore, only 48% of the studies included a warm-up stage and 34% of the studies included a cool-down stage. Conclusions: This systematic review characterized the physical exercise programs in older adults in Latin America, as well the most frequently used outcome measures and instruments, by summarizing available evidence derived from RCTs. The results will be useful for prescribing future physical exercise programs in older adults.
