耳穴疗法（耳穴针灸）用于患有胸腰椎椎间盘疾病（I-IV型）的犬（n = 30），持续时间为1至（47平均值= 8）d。在耳穴疗法治疗期间，未使用镇痛药或镇静药物。通过插入不锈钢针灸针20 min刺激外耳凹面上的压力敏感和电检测点。每次最多3次治疗中使用1至6针。50%的狗完全康复，23%的狗有所改善。仅背痛犬（I型）和轻瘫犬（II型）反应最好，平均恢复时间分别为1.7和3.2天。止痛效果尤其令人印象深刻。3只（50%）瘫痪犬（III型和IV型）的耳廓治疗失败，尸检证实了局灶性肌萎缩和脊髓软化。12只狗中有4只（33%）在成功治疗后1.4至26周内复发。
Auriculotherapy (ear-point acupuncture) was used in dogs (n = 30) suffering from thoracolumbar disc disease, Types I-IV, with a duration of 1 to (47 means = 8) d. During auriculotherapy treatment, no analgaesics or antiinflammatory medications were used. Pressure-sensitive and electrically detectable points on the concave aspect of the external auricle were stimulated by insertion of stainless steel acupuncture needles for 20 min. One to 6 needles were used on each occasion in a maximum of 3 treatments. Fifty per cent of dogs recovered completely and 23% improved. Dogs with backpain only (Type I) and dogs with paresis (Type II) responded best with mean recovery times of 1.7 and 3.2 d respectively. The analgaesic effects were especially impressive. Auriculotherapy failed in 3 (50%) paralysed dogs (Types III and IV) in which post-mortem examinations confirmed focal myelitis and myelomalacia. Four of 12 dogs (33%) recorded relapsed in 1.4 to 26 weeks after successful treatment.
