“…This map is shown in Figure 6. A recent publication by Lei Wang et al aimed to verify the correspondence between AA points as proposed by the Chinese system (as represented by the World Federation of Acupuncture-Moxibustion Societies or WFAS) and as proposed by the European system (i.e., according to Nogier and Bahr) [17]. The authors concluded that 24 AA points have the same name and position on the auricle.…”

The Medial Surface of the Auricle: Historical and Recent Maps. What Are the Possible Expectations of the “Thumb-Index Technique”

et al. 2022

Introduction: The medial surface of the auricle (MSotA), as compared to the lateral, has been less studied and has limited consensus among schools of auricular acupuncture (AA) due to its small size, greater difficulty in carrying out an adequate physical examination on it, and less precise and limited agreement on its anatomical references as compared to the lateral surface. The thumb-index technique TIT is performed using a guiding finger (taking advantage of the anatomical conformation of the lateral surface) to guide the explorer finger (placed on the MSotA) to project the therapeutic areas and land marks on the MSotA. TIT could be considered useful and effective in AA to make the most of diagnostic and therapeutic MSotA potential. Methods: An investigation was carried out on the impact of TIT in AA practice through a survey collected from former AA students. Results: TIT showed a high consensus, and is used and appreciated by AA practitioners. Discussion/ Conclusions: To date, in AA, there is no thoroughly shared nomenclature for MSotA. TIT is simple and quick to project on to MSotA the well-coded lateral surface auricular maps from French or Chinese AA schools.

“…21 Para redução mais significativa de tais sintomas, indica-se a adição do ponto agressividade de Nogier e Bahr ao protocolo. 22 Por outro lado, o domínio tensão mostrou efeitos de alívio em decorrência do efeito relaxante do ponto Shenmen. Os enfermeiros nas unidades de oncologia estão frequentemente expostos a situações de tensão e ansiedade pela criticidade dos pacientes, demanda dos familiares, situações de medo, falta de preparo para exercer a especialidade e sobrecarga de trabalho, 3 além de possível frustração por ações pouco resolutivas no controle de sinais e sintomas em pacientes com sofrimento intenso.…”

“…A localização perfeita do ponto é fundamental para o seu efeito. Sugere-se, assim, para estudos futuros, a utilização de algum localizador de pontos eletrônico (Acuspointer ou Ryodoraku) ou um exame de pulso associado à estimulação do ponto auricular, denominado Sinal Autonômico Vascular (VAS), que é uma modificação do pulso mediada pelo sistema nervoso autônomo, desenvolvida por Nogier, 22 ou o teste de contato de agulha, 30 para melhorar a precisão dos pontos auriculares.…”

Objetivo: verificar a efetividade de um protocolo de auriculoterapia para redução de sinais e sintomas de estresse na melhora do humor dos profissionais de saúde. Método: estudo piloto controlado e randomizado, com dois grupos de 40 participantes cada, intervenção e controle, realizado em hospital oncológico. Critérios de inclusão: atuar há pelo menos um ano no hospital e escore de 40 a 150 na Lista de Sintomas de Stress. Todos os participantes responderam ao questionário biossociodemográfico e a Escala de Humor de Brunel (BRUMS) antes e depois do estudo. A intervenção consistiu de seis sessões de auriculoterapia e o controle sem tratamento. Resultados: idade média 36,5 anos, 50,0% solteiras, 57,5% com filhos, 33,7% enfermeiras, tempo médio de instituição 59,1 meses. Houve diminuição significativa no escore global e nos domínios confusão mental e tensão (0,05) da BRUMS. Conclusão: o protocolo de auriculoterapia melhorou o humor dos profissionais de enfermagem.

“…Paul Nogier and Bahr was published in 2016 by Lei Wang, PhD, and coauthors in the European Journal of Integrative Medicine. 31 To describe the exact position of ear acupuncture points, Dr. Paul Nogier had already designed an ear chart with coordinates in 1981. 1 It was Winfried Wojak, PRCa doctor of dental medicine and honorary professor at the Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine-who developed the coordinate system further and presented it, together with Dr. Bahr, in 2006 at a conference of the Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine, entitled New Thoughts and Approaches to the Future Developments of TCM.…”

and to introduce the latest ear chart by Frank R. Bahr, MD, there. This article is based on that presentation and includes more historical facts. Although the relationship between the ear and meridians was discussed previously in the famous book, The Internal Classic of the Yellow Emperor (Huang Di Neijing), the first auricular map was published in 1888 by Zhenjun Zhang in his book Essential Techniques for Massage (Lizheng Anmo Yaosu). This map was a drawing of the posterior aspect of the ear showing areas of the five Zang organs: Heart; Liver; Spleen; Kidney; and Lung. Paul Nogier, MD, discovered ear somatotopy, a representation of the whole person on the ear in the shape of a homunculus, or inverted fetus, on the ear. Dr. Paul Nogier's ear map was first published in 1957. A more-detailed presentation, the Loci Auriculomedicinae, elaborated by Drs. Paul Nogier and Bahr as well as René J. Bourdiol, MD, appeared in 1974. A new edition will soon appear in French. Auricular medicine is an excellent method, but only if the ear points are located precisely. Preconditions for this ability are excellent knowledge of the ear's anatomy, documented on a very detailed modern ear chart, such as the one recently created by Dr. Bahr, and constant practice of pulse palpation according to Dr. Paul Nogier with the vascular autonomous signal.
