Acupresión auricular como tratamiento adyuvante para las sibilancias en la enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica estable

Overview

This protocol investigates the effectiveness of auricular pressure beam therapy for relieving wheezing symptoms in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is a cost-effective and straightforward technique with a high safety profile.

Key Study Components

Area of Science

• Neuroscience
• Respiratory Therapy
• Acupuncture Techniques

Background

• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common respiratory condition.
• Wheezing is a prevalent symptom in stable COPD patients.
• Auricular acupressure is a non-invasive therapy option.

Methods Used

• Gather cotton balls saturated with 75% ethanol and sterile forceps.
• Sieve spherical Vaccaria segetalis seeds to obtain seeds two millimeters in diameter.
• Implement auricular pressure beam therapy on patients.
• Monitor wheezing symptoms and overall patient response.

Main Results

• Auricular pressure beam therapy significantly reduced wheezing symptoms.
• The technique demonstrated a high safety profile with minimal risk of infection.
• Patients reported improved quality of life post-therapy.
• Cost-effectiveness was confirmed in the clinical setting.

Conclusions

• Auricular acupressure is an effective adjuvant therapy for stable COPD.
• This method is easy to implement and safe for patients.
• Further studies are recommended to explore long-term benefits.
