OBJECTIVE:Auriculotherapy is based on the stimulation of reflex points in the ear. However, little is known about its weight-reducing effects. The aim of the present systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the effects of auriculotherapy on weight and/or (BMI) reduction in overweight or patients with obesity.
METHODS:Twelve articles were selected for systematic review. Four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating weight reduction and five investigating BMI reduction were selected for the meta-analyzes.
RESULTS:The results revealed an association between auriculotherapy and weight reduction (WMD, 1.507; 95% CI, 0.606-2.407; p < 0.000). Auriculotherapy was also significantly associated with BMI reduction (WMD, 0.865; 95% CI, 0.533-1.196; p < 0.004).
CONCLUSIONS:We found that auriculotherapy was effective in reducing weight and/or BMI in overweight or patients with obesity. However, the findings should be interpreted with caution due to heterogeneity.

目的：耳穴疗法是基于刺激耳朵的反射点。但是，人们对其减重效果知之甚少。本系统综述和荟萃分析的目的是研究耳穴疗法对超重或肥胖患者体重和/或（BMI）降低的影响。
方法：选择十二篇文章进行系统评价。荟萃分析选择了四个研究体重减轻的随机对照试验（RCT）和五个研究体重减轻的研究。
结果：结果表明，耳治疗与体重减轻之间存在关联（WMD，1.507； 95％CI，0.606-2.407； p <0.000）。听觉疗法也与BMI降低显着相关（WMD，0.865; 95％CI，0.533-1.196; p <0.004）。
结论：我们发现耳穴疗法可有效减轻超重或肥胖患者的体重和/或BMI。但是，由于异质性，应谨慎解释研究结果。
