Abstract
A treatment has been postulated for facilitating prevention or reduction of chronic predictable symptoms exacerbated by fluctuations in atmospheric barometric pressure and other weather phenomena (meteoropathy). An apparent vagus nerve (VN) mechanism was observed. Initial clinical results provide evidence to support the neurological basis of meteoropathy. Reported is the background, relevance, and science associated with an innovative application of auricular acupuncture. Patients reported reduced weather-induced symptoms. An analytical case-specific methodology was employed to detect and stimulate points of altered skin electrical resistance within the region innervated by the auricular branch of the VN. The METEO-Q Questionnaire (Mazza et al.) documented patients' susceptibility to weather and climatic changes pre and post treatment. Significant decreases in severity, frequency, and duration of symptoms associated with barometric pressure changes prior to treatment were documented. To the author's knowledge, no dependable, reproducible, or consistent intervention to facilitate a decrease in meteoropathic symptoms has been previously reported or studied.
