Auricular acupuncture treatment
Auricular acupuncture is an innovative intradermal acupuncture, which can directly use the meridian system of the ear skin to directly transmit the received stimulation to the lesion. Its stimulation time is long, and the amount of stimulation is strong. Studies have shown that needle pricking continuously delivers an adequate dose of acupuncture stimulation by continuously stimulating Aβ, Aδ, and/or C afferent fibers from the skin and transmitting them to the brain nucleus through the ventrolateral cord of the spinal cord. It is also believed that by stimulating the cranial nerves, especially the auricular branch of the vagus nerve, the effect of sensory afferent peripheral stimulation can be enhanced, and the analgesic effect of the auricular acupoints can be achieved.
Sham acupuncture group
The treatment regimen is the same as that of the auricular acupuncture treatment group, but with a sham acupuncture (Seirin Pyonex Needles).
