Figure 2

Location of auricular acupoints used in the auricular acupressure treatment group; a: the “kidney”: the back of the bottom ear helix (i.e., the concha 10 region, CO10); b: the “lung”: adjacent to the area of the “heart” and the “trachea” (i.e., the concha 14 region, CO14); c: the “heart”: in the middle ear cavity depression (i.e., the concha 15 region, CO15); d: the “Shenmen”: in the upper part of the posterior 1/3 of the triangular fossa (i.e., the triangular fossa 4 region, TF4); e: the “endocrine”: within the intertragic notch in the lower front concha (i.e., the concha 18 region, CO18); f: the “subcortical”: within the inner side of the tragus (i.e., the tragus 4 region, AT4).
