This study is a randomized single-blind trial, which aimed to evaluate the efficacy of true auriculotherapy and placebo auriculotherapy in reducing the stress levels of mid-level Nursing students of the School of Nursing of the Beneficência Portuguesa Hospital. Seventy-one students with average, high and very high scores, according to Vasconcellos' List of Stress Symptoms, were divided into three groups: Control (25), Auriculotherapy (24), and Placebo/Sham (22). They were evaluated at the baseline, 8th and 12th sessions and at the follow-up (15 days) and received Shen Men and Brainstem points (Auriculotherapy Group) and Wrist and Outer Ear points (Placebo/Sham Group). The analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed statistically significant differences between the Control/Auriculotherapy groups from the 8th session, which was maintained in the third and fourth evaluations (p=0.000) and between the Control/Placebo groups (p<0.05) at the three evaluations. It was concluded that the true auriculotherapy obtained better responses (45.39%) than the placebo (34.18%) in the reduction of the stress, but further studies are recommended for the re-evaluation of the sham points for stress.

本研究是一项随机单盲试验，旨在评估真耳穴疗法和安慰剂耳穴疗法对葡萄牙慈善医院护理学院中级护理专业学生降低压力水平的疗效。根据瓦斯康塞洛斯应激症状清单，将71名得分平均、高和非常高的学生分为三组：对照组（25人）、耳穴疗法组（24人）和安慰剂/假治疗组（22人）。在基线、第8次和第12次治疗时以及随访（15天）时对他们进行评估，耳穴疗法组接受神门和脑干穴位治疗，安慰剂/假治疗组接受手腕和外耳穴位治疗。方差分析（ANOVA）显示，从第8次治疗开始，对照组/耳穴疗法组之间存在统计学显著差异，在第三次和第四次评估中差异仍然存在（p = 0.000），并且在三次评估中对照组/安慰剂组之间也存在差异（p < 0.05）。得出的结论是，在减轻压力方面，真耳穴疗法（45.39%）比安慰剂（34.18%）获得了更好的反应，但建议进一步研究以重新评估用于减轻压力的假穴位。ClinicalTrials.gov标识符：NCT01420848。
