Objective To evaluate the contribution of auriculotherapy in smoking cessation. Method Double-blind randomized controlled trial, conducted with 30 smokers allocated into two groups: Experimental Group (21 participants received 10 sessions of auriculotherapy at specific points for smoking) and Control Group (nine participants received auriculotherapy in points that have no effect on the focus of research). Results Auriculotherapy contributed in reducing the number of cigarettes smoked in 61.9% of participants (p=0.002), in reducing the difficult to abstain from smoking in places where it is forbidden by 38% (p=0.050) and in not smoking when ill 23.8% (p=0.025). Conclusion Given the efficacy only in terms of reducing the number of cigarettes smoked and other parameters, we suggest that future studies consider the use of auriculotherapy combined with other treatment methods, in order to achieve better results in cessation/abstinence.

To Receive

A double-blind randomized prospective case-control pilot study was performed to assess tissue distortion caused by the infiltration of local anaesthetic to the dorsum of the nose and to see if this was altered by the addition of hyaluronidase. Forty patients undergoing nasal manipulation for fractured nasal bones were randomized to receive either 4 ml of twoper cent lignocaine and adrenaline 1:200000 or 4 ml of two per cent lignocaine and adrenaline 1:200000 with 1500 IU hyaluronidase, which was infiltrated subcutaneously over the nasal dorsum.One surgeon using a standardized technique performed the nasal infiltration. Other outcome measures were ease of manipulation, adequacy of the reduction, patient satisfaction with cosmesisand patient analgesia requirements. There were trends for decreased tissue distortion and improved ease of manipulation in the hyaluronidase group. Larger trials are required to confirm these results.
