Abstract:
Objective To systematically review the effect of auricular acupressure on the recovery of gastrointestinal peristaltic functioning after the surgery .Methods The randomized controlled trials ( RCT) and controlled clinical trail on auricular acupressure after the surgery were collected using the databases of Cochrane Library, JBI Library,PubMed,EMbase,CBMdisc,China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Chinese BioMedical Literature Database ( CBM ) . After selection and critical appraisal of the retrieved studies , a quantitative systemic review(Meta-analysis)was conducted by RevMan 5.0 software.Results Four RCTs and ten CCTs were included with the literature quality of B .Meta-analysis showed that auricular acupressure after the surgery could significantly shorten the time to first flatus (WMD=-14.16,95%CI=-18.40 -9.93,P<0.01),time to first bowel motion(WMD =-10.33,95%CI =-12.98 -7.69,P <0.01),time to first passage of feces(WMD=-19.19,95%CI=-27.56 -10.81,P<0.01),and reduced the rate of abdominal distension (OR=0.17,95%CI:0.10-0.29,P<0.01).Conclusions Auricular acupressure after surgery is beneficial in promoting the recovery of gastrointestinal peristaltic function .However ,more high quality RCTs on the basic research of action mechanism , and standardized clinical research are still required to verify the effects .
