Heart Rate Variability During Auricular Acupressure at Zero Point on the Left Ear in Healthy Volunteers

Healthy Volunteers Clinical Trial

Official title:
Survey on Heart Rate Variability During Auricular Acupressure at Zero Point on the Left Ear in Healthy Volunteers: a Pilot Study

Clinical Trial Summary

Heart rate variability (HRV) is used to noninvasively assess the activity of the autonomic nervous system, in particular, its parts help to evaluate the cardiac sympathetic and parasympathetic activities. Increasing HRV may contribute to improving autonomic nervous system dysfunctions. In traditional medicine, acupuncture in the region of the vagus nerve distribution in the ear could increase parasympathetic activity and cause changes in HRV. Zero point located on the vagus nerve distribution is scientifically proven to enhance parasympathetic activity, however, the number of studies examining the effect of auricular acupressure at zero point on HRV is limited while this method is highly effective and convenient. In our study, we want to survey heart rate variability during auricular acupressure at Zero point on the left ear in healthy volunteers.

Clinical Trial Description

Participants and Methods: A randomized controlled trial is conducted by comparing the changes in HRV and elements of HRV during the auricular acupressure process at zero point on the left ear in healthy volunteers. A total of 114 participants were randomly assigned to 2 groups by computer GraphPad software and the allocation was 1:1. Participants in the experimental group received auricular acupressure at the left zero point, while the control group received placebo auricular acupressure by removing the ear seed but keeping the sticker attached in the left zero point. The primary outcome was the change in heart rate variability during auricular acupressure at zero point on the left ear. This trial will be performed as randomized, controlled, and single- blinded. ;
