OBJECTIVE: To observe the efficacy of biased constitution patients treated by auricular point therapy on the basis of "preventive treatment" theory. METHODS: By means of self-control, 1477 cases of biased constitution were regulated by auricular point sticking therapy or acupuncture, and follow-up and statistical analysis were conducted to observe the efficacy. RESULTS: There were 322 markedly effective patients, 914 effective patients, 241 failed patients and the total effective rate was 83.7% (1236/1477). CONCLUSION: The comprehensive auricular treatment which is easy to operate and acceptable for patients has obvious effect in biased constitution patients.
