dc.description.abstractPost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental illness triggered by a horrific event that one has either experienced or witnessed. People with PTSD are more likely to suffer from chronic pain than people who have not experienced trauma. The pain associated with PTSD may be caused by changes in the way the body processes pain signals. Auricular chromotherapy is a new treatment method that combines auriculotherapy, chromotherapy, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) techniques. The purpose of this study was to report on four cases of chronic pain that were successfully treated with auricular chromotherapy. Four patients with chronic pain were selected for this study. Auricular chromotherapy sessions were performed on each patient three times at one-week intervals. After the third session, a three-month follow-up was performed. After the treatments, all four patients reported that their pain had disappeared without any side effects. These case reports suggest that auricular chromotherapy may be effective in treating chronic pain due to PTSD. Further preclinical and clinical studies are needed to investigate the mechanism of action of auricular chromotherapy in the treatment of pain. © 2023en_US
