Observational Study on Auriculotherapy in the Treatment of Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain: Preliminary Data

Abstract: Introduction: Pain in musculoskeletal disorders is a common problem that involves high social and individual costs. Systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials show that a number of treatments usually applied in this field are not effective. On the other hand, there is clinical evidence of the effectiveness of physical exercise, acupuncture, and auriculotherapy. Side effects of current medication limit their use.

“…According to the Traditional Chinese Medicine assumptions, pain occurs due to Qi (energy) and Xue (blood) stagnation in the meridians. This stagnation can be due to internal pathogens, characterized by unbalanced emotions that affect the organs, and by external pathogens (pathogenic wind, cold and humidity) that, when invading the body and the individual is unable to eliminate them, lodge in the meridians, joints and muscles; in both cases, preventing free Qi and Xue flows ( 10 ) . Establishing a parallel with physiology, Qi circulates in the channels similarly to the venous and blood network.…”

“…El DME crónico se relaciona con el alto nivel de ausentismo laboral (2) , que provoca una sobrecarga de trabajo para el resto de los trabajadores y un aumento de los costos para las instituciones. Por ende, es importante que se realicen investigaciones dirigidas a encontrar estrategias que contribuyan a reducir el DME crónico, como las terapias complementarias e integradoras (3,(9)(10) .…”
