Resumen
[ES] Introducción. El estrés es una reacción compleja a nivel fisiológico, psicológico y social con una alta prevalencia entre la población con la consiguiente repercusión sanitaria, social y económica. Material y métodos. Se realizó una revisión sistemática de estudios publicados en las bases de datos Medline, PsycInfo y PEDro con las palabras clave: “acupuncture”, “stress” y “anxiety” utilizando los operadores booleanos “AND” y “OR”. Para ser incluidos en el estudio los artículos debían cumplir los siguientes criterios de inclusión: (1) estar publicados entre 2005 y 2015; (2) documento registrado como Prueba Clínica; (3) estar realizado en humanos y; (4) que al menos el resumen estuviera disponible. Resultados. El resultado final del proceso de búsqueda permitió seleccionar un total de 18 artículos que cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. De estos 18 artículos: 16 encontraron relación entre la disminución de la sintomatología del estrés y ansiedad y la práctica de acupuntura, 2 no encontraron asociación. Conclusiones. La puesta en práctica de técnicas de tratamiento adecuadas- como intentamos analizar en esta revisión sistemática- estarían indicadas en individuos con un alto índice de estrés y ansiedad.
