NCT ID: NCT06087380 Completed - Clinical trials for Cervical Spine Surgery

Auricular Acupressure on Improving Pain and Heart Variability in Patients After Cervical Spine Surgery

Start date: February 15, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of auricular acupressure in improving post-cervical spine surgery pain and heart rate variability in patients.

NCT ID: NCT05988502 Completed - Heart Failure Clinical Trials

Auricular Acupressure Relieves Constipation for Patients With Heart Failure in Hospital

Start date: March 6, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aimed to investigate the effect of auricular acupressure (AA) to relieve constipation symptoms and improve quality of life in patients hospitalized for their heart failure. A total of 72 participants were randomly assigned and 68 (33 in the AA group and 35 in the control group) completed the study. Outcomes were measured by the Bristolv Stool Form Scale, Constipation Assessment Scale, Patient Assessment of Constipation Symptoms, Visual Scale Analog, Beck Anxiety Inventory and Beck Depression Inventory at baseline, Weeks 1 and 2, as well as Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire and Patient Assessment of Constipation Quality of Life at baseline and Week 2.

NCT ID: NCT05540236 Completed - Clinical trials for Laparoscopic Surgery

Effects of Auricular Acupressure on the Management of Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting After Gynecological Laparoscopic Surgeries

Start date: July 18, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Auricular acupressure is easily accessible and easily performed, and can significantly relieve PONV symptoms, and improve patient's satisfaction in women receiving general anesthesia for gynecological surgeries. This makes it an economically-beneficial supplemental therapy, worthy of promoting for patients receiving general anesthesia.

NCT ID: NCT05241782 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Post-stroke Depression

The Effect of Auricular Acupressure on the Improvement of Anxiousness, Depression and Heart Rate Variability in Stroke Patients

Start date: May 14, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Heart rate variability (HRV) in post-stroke patients are closely related to patient mortality, neurological deterioration and overall prognosis. Anxiety and depression will demotivate the patients' will to undergo rehabilitation program, which would delay their functional recovery. The influence of acupressure over the auricle on the HRV, anxiousness and depressive mood have yet to be verified. The investigators aimed to study the effect on auricular acupressure treatment between the different trending of HRV, anxiety and depression and their correlations. This is a randomized control study, consisted of 70 patients with post-stroke depressive mood, from both CGH and Xizhi Cathay hospital in Taiwan. HRV analysis is performed on the first 24 hours, and on a weekly basis for a total of 6 weeks. The included depressed patients were defined by the "Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale" and weekly will be undertaken by the patients. A "Taiwanese Depression Questionnaire" pre-test and after-test will be undertaken by the patients. Experimental group will receive acupressure treatment by the second week, trice daily, 3~5minutes each session for a course of four weeks. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0, using generalized estimating equation, GEE. The study hypothesized that the auricular acupressure treatment would improve post-stroke depression. Therefore, participants would be more willing to receive rehabilitation program. Our study would also help to provide future references on related studies.

NCT ID: NCT01056458 Unknown status - Anxiety Clinical Trials

Auricular Acupressure for Perimenopausal Women With Anxiety

AAA
Start date: January 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is expected to show auricular acupressure therapy help to improve the anxiety symptoms of perimenopausal and early postmenopausal women, looking forward to developing a convenient, safe and effective way to reduce the use of sedative hypnotics and their dependencies, thereby improving their quality of life.
