Purpose: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to examine the effects of auricular therapy on alleviatingindicators of disease status in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search wasconducted in the PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases using relevant search terms. The quality ofthe included studies was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool for randomized controlled trials and theRisk of Bias tool for non-randomized studies of interventions.
Results: Ten studies were included for the systematicreview. Most of the studies were conducted in Asia, and randomized controlled trials were primarily chosen as thestudy design. The auricular therapy points most commonly used were related to the pancreas, which is associatedwith diabetes. A meta-analysis using a random-effects model to analyze glycated hemoglobin showed a Hedges'g value of -0.11 (95% CI: -0.53 to 0.32, p=.623), which was not statistically significant. However, the standardizedmean difference for fasting blood sugar was -0.97 (95% CI=-1.22 to -0.72, p<.001), indicating a large andstatistically significant effect size.
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that auricular therapy may havean impact on fasting blood sugar levels. However, the studies used in this analysis were limited and some publicationbias was identified, requiring further research to determine the broader implications and effectiveness of auriculartherapy.
