    Abstract: Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of auricular point sticking and pressing therapy in the treatment of hyperemesis gravidarum. Methods Use of computer to search Cochrane, PubMed, China Knowledge Network Full Text Database (CNKI), VIP Database and Wanfang Database, to collect Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) about auricular point sticking and pressing therapy in the treatment of hyperemesis gravidarum were collected, and the quality of the included studies was evaluated according to the randomly hidden quality standard in Jadad scale. Meta analysis was performed by Rev man 5.3 software. Results Five studies were included, including 359 patients with hyperemesis gravidarum. The results of meta-analysis showed that: ① The curative effect rate of auricular point sticking and pressing therapy was superior to the basic treatment group [MD = 2.42, 95% CI (2.14,5.45), z = 5.16, P < 0.00001]. ② The total effective rate of auricular point sticking and pressing therapy group was superior to the basic treatment group [MD = 5.01, 95% CI (2.495, - 10.07), z = 4.52, P < 0.00001]. Conclusion Auricular point sticking and pressing therapy is better than basic therapy in the treatment of hyperemesis gravidarum. However, the mechanism of auricular plaster therapy is not clear and needs to be studied.
