ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effects of auricular point plaster therapeutic time on pain caused by cyclomastopathy .Methods 90 patients who visited breast surgery outpatient clinic and were diagnosed as cyclomas -topathy due to stagnation of liver -QI were randomly divided into the three groups by numerical table3 days ( group A),5 days(group B),7 days(group C) ear acupoint therapy group,30 cases each.Improved pain symptoms of cyclo-mastopathy were compared among the three groups .Results There was statistical significance to reduce pain symp-toms in the three groups[before the treatment(4.57 ±1.74)points,(4.63 ±1.83)points,(4.81 ±1.57)points;after the treatment(3.45 ±1.52)points,(1.82 ±0.96)points,(2.45 ±1.03)points.t=2.66,7.45,6.88,all P<0.05].There was obvious statistical difference between group B and group C (t=7.45,6.88,all P<0.01),and low recurrence rate .Conclusion 5 days auricular point plaster therapy is worthy of clinical popularization because which can improve pain symptom of cyclomastopathy ,shorten time of therapy with high compliance and low recurrence rate .
