所提出的方案描述了一种传统的中医治疗程序,以其在管理妊娠呕吐方面的安全性和有效性而闻名。

Abstract

妊娠期恶心和呕吐 (NVP) 是常见症状,通常使许多女性的妊娠早期复杂化。虽然禁食、输液和营养支持等临床治疗通常用于管理 NVP,但其有效性各不相同。然而,传统的耳膏疗法提供了一种很有前途的替代方案,可以有效缓解症状,并且对胚胎或胎儿的发育没有已知的风险。这种疗法以其易于应用、成本效益和良好的结果而闻名。先前的研究表明,将耳膏疗法与常规治疗相结合在缓解孕妇恶心和呕吐症状方面的有效性超过了单独使用常规治疗所取得的结果。本文介绍的方案描述了一种使用应用于特定耳点的圆形、光滑和坚硬的牛草种子来缓解NVP的方法。利用穴位按摩的原理,将这些种子轻轻擦到耳朵表面。通过刺激指定的耳穴,该程序旨在调节身体的能量流动并恢复平衡,从而降低NVP的严重程度和频率。将牛草种子涂抹在特定的耳穴上是一种简单的技术,医疗保健专业人员可以在适当的指导下轻松实施或由孕妇自行管理。总体而言,耳膏疗法提供了一种安全、有效和经济的方法来控制妊娠呕吐,为女性提供了一种潜在的解决方案,以减轻怀孕期间的不适。

Introduction

妊娠期恶心和呕吐 (NVP) 很常见,不同程度地影响约 50%-80% 的孕妇1。当NVP进展到中度或重度水平时,它会增加母亲和胎儿不良妊娠结局的风险。因此,NVP 的早期干预可能有助于预防妊娠剧吐2 的发生。NVP 的确切原因在现代生物医学中尚不清楚,但据信它与怀孕期间人绒毛膜促性腺激素血清水平的变化和某些维生素3 的缺乏等因素有关。目前 NVP 的治疗方法包括禁食、输液和纠正电解质失衡,但这些方法都不被认为是可靠的4。因此,找到一种不影响胚胎或胎儿发育的有效治疗方法是一项重大的临床挑战。

耳膏疗法是一种传统的中医治疗方法,涉及使用小而圆的物体,通常是牛草的种子,刺激耳朵上的特定穴位,以预防和治疗疾病5.牛痘的干燥和成熟种子,也称为牛草,用于这种疗法,因为它们被认为可以调节血液和通道,增强血液循环,促进泌乳。耳廓(耳朵的外侧)富含神经,包含许多针灸和敏感穴位6。通过刺激这些穴位,耳朵的软组织可能产生局部无菌炎症,进而可能调节神经内分泌系统,包括垂体-肾上腺皮质和交感神经-肾上腺皮质腺。此外,这种疗法可以潜在地激活人体的非特异性免疫反应,从而产生治疗效果7.耳膏疗法通过靶向耳朵上主要调节自主神经功能障碍、减少胃肠道反应和减轻呕吐感的特定穴位来有效治疗 NVP。它还可以增加Motilin的水平,Motilin是一种促进肠道蠕动的激素8,并恢复孕妇的食欲。此外,以前的一些研究表明,耳膏疗法可能对 NVP 相关的情绪障碍产生有利影响9,因为它在缓解焦虑方面表现出与镇静剂相似的作用。

耳膏疗法是一种简单且易于管理的治疗方法。它可以与常规治疗结合使用,以缓解NVP的症状,同时将母亲和胎儿与药物使用相关的潜在风险降至最低。该协议提供了有关如何进行这种治疗以及在此过程中要考虑的事项的详细说明。我们希望耳膏治疗能够得到更多的关注,并在临床实践中得到推广和利用。

Discussion

妊娠期恶心和呕吐 (NVP) 是一种常见的疾病,可能对孕妇的健康构成风险,甚至会导致终止妊娠的并发症。通常用于止吐/抗恶心作用的临床药物,如昂丹司琼和异丙嗪,对孕妇有潜在风险,包括肌张力障碍、镇静和降低癫痫发作阈值22.因此,药物治疗有其自身的一系列危险。另一方面,今天通常采用的以症状为中心的治疗方法缺乏特异性,有时无效23.因此,?…
