Objective:To explore the commonly used ear acupoints and their selection and compatibility rules for the treatment of primary hypertension with auricular acupressure.Methods:Systematic research was conducted on China Biology Medicine disc, VIP Information Chinese Journal Service Platform, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, CNKI, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library, and the search period was from establishment of the databases until December 31, 2022. Excel 2021 was used to establish the database, and R Studio software was used to analyze the principles of ear acupoint compatibility correlation.Results:A total of 165 articles were included, of which 136 articles were solely treated with auricular acupressure for primary hypertension and 29 articles were treated with other intervention measures. The common syndrome types were hyperactivity of liver fire, stagnation of phlegm, Yin deficiency and Yang hyperactivity, and deficiency of both Yin and Yang. The common acupoints were Shenmen (15.1%, 135/894) , Jiangya Gou (14.09%, 126/894) , Sympathetic (10.63%, 95/894) , Liver (10.29%, 92/894) , Heart (9.73%, 87/894) , Kidney (9.06%, 81/894) , and Subcortical (6.94%, 62/894) .Common acupoint combinations included Shenmen-Jiangya Gou-Sympathetic-Liver-Kidney, Shenmen-Jiangya Gou-Liver-Kidney, Shenmen-Jiangya Gou-Sympathetic, and Shenmen-Jiangya Gou.Conclusions:The treatment of primary hypertension with auricular acupressure has a certain regularity, which can provide reliable references for selecting acupoints for clinical treatment of primary hypertension.
