Effect of acupuncture combined with auricular beanembedding on autonomic nervous system function, heart rate variability and mental state of migraine patients
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effects of acupuncture combined with auricular bean embedding on autonomic nervous dysfunction, heart rate variability and psychological state of migraine patients. METHOD: Sixty migraine patients admitted to our hospital from August 2022 to June 2023 were selected for this retrospective study. Based on their treatment protocols, the patients were divided into the acupuncture alone group (control group) and acupuncture combined with auricular bean embedding group (observation group), with 30 cases in each group. The clinical effects in the two groups were compared. The heart rate variability (low-frequency power, high-frequency power, standard deviation of all normal sinus intervals) of patients between the two groups after treatment was compared. The SF-McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) scores were compared between the two groups before and after treatment, as were psychological scores using the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A) and quality of life (QOL) scores. The autonomic nervous dysfunction was also compared between the two groups before and after treatment. RESULTS: =8.161, P=0.043). Clinical features scale (CFS) scores significantly decreased in both groups post-treatment, with greater reduction in the observation group (t=4.283, P < 0.001). Heart rate variability parameters also showed significant improvements in the observation group, including increases in both low-frequency power and high-frequency power (t=2.010, P=0.049; t=2.111, P=0.039 respectively) and standard deviation of sinus intervals (t=2.435, P=0.018). Post-treatment SF-MPQ scores were significantly lower in the observation group compared to the control group (t=17.709, P < 0.001), indicating reduced pain. Anxiety levels, as measured by HAM-A scores, decreased more significantly in the observation group compared to the control group (t=3.429, P=0.001). Both groups showed significant improvements in quality of life, with the observation group saw more substantial effects (t=7.235, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Acupuncture combined with auricular bean embedding effectively improves autonomic nervous dysfunction, enhances the activity of the autonomic nervous system, including both sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, restores autonomic nerve balance, and relieves clinical symptoms of migraine patients. It also demonstrates significant therapeutic efficacy and holds substantial value in clinical application and warrants promotion.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
