Abstract：Objective：To observe the clinical effect of auricular point pressing with beans and auricular massage based on routine medical measures for slow transit constipation(STC). Methods：A total of 120 cases of patients were divided into the control group and the observation group according to the random number table method，60 cases in each group. Both groups were treated with mosapride tablets and polyethylene glycol 4000 powder， and given comprehensive nursing measures including lifestyle modification，psychological nursing，exercise instruction and establishment of good defecation habits. The observation group was additionally treated with auricular point pressing with beans and auricular massage. Both groups were treated for four weeks. Before treatment and after four-week treatment，the scores of main symptoms of constipation and Patient Assessment of Constipation Symptoms(PAC- SYM) were evaluated. The average times of weekly spontaneous complete bowel movement(SCBM) before and after treatment and the time for defecation to return to normal in the two groups were recorded. A 12-week follow-up was performed to count the recurrence rate. Results：After treatment，the six scores of main symptoms of constipation including fecal character and difficulty of defecation as well as the total scores in the two groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment(P＜0.01)，and the above scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.01). The SCBM times in the two groups were increased when compared with those before treatment(P＜0.01)，and the PAC-SYM scores were decreased(P＜0.01). The SCBM time in the observation group was more than that in the control group(P＜0.01)，and the PAC-SYM score was fewer(P＜0.01). The time for defecation to return to normal in the observation group was accelerated when compared with that in the control group(P＜ 0.01). The recovery rate of defecation was 91.67%，higher than that of 78.33% in the control group(P＜0.05). The recurrence rate was 25.45% in the observation group and 46.81% in the control group， the difference being significant(P＜0.05). Conclusion： Based on routine treatment and nursing measures of modern medicine， the additional application of auricular point pressing with beans and auricular massage for STC patients can further relieve the main symptoms of constipation， shorten the disease course，improve clinical effect and quality of life and reduce recurrence.
