Summary
Chronic pain is a medical and social problem that can significantly impact the quality of
 life. Chronic pain is an important risk factor in the development of depression. It is shown
 by the significantly higher prevalence of depression in individuals who experience chronic
 pain (20-80%). Apart from that, chronic pain and depression also have a close relationship in
 the development of disease and mutually influence the severity of each condition.
 
 To reduce the cost of pain management from a pharmacological perspective and its use in the
 long term, it is necessary to consider other non-pharmacological treatment methods that have
 good therapeutic effects with minimal side effects. Acupuncture has become a
 non-pharmacological therapy option that has proven its effectiveness and safety in treating
 chronic pain in depressed patients. Previous literature has reported the effectiveness of
 acupuncture therapy, especially auricular acupuncture in treating pain. Auricular acupuncture
 therapy using press needles is quite easy to apply, fast, and can provide continuous
 stimulation with minimal side effects.
 
 This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the auricular needle press in chronic pain
 with depressive symptoms. This study was a double-blinded randomized clinical trial and was
 carried out on outpatients at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital Jakarta and
 Soerojo Hospital Magelang. This is also a collaborative study between the medical acupuncture
 department and the psychiatry department.
 
 This study includes 60 participants who will be randomly allocated into 2 groups, the press
 needle and sham press needle groups. The press needles will be placed at 6 auricular points
 bilaterally, which are MA-TF1 Shenmen, MA-IC7 Heart, and MA-IT1 Cingulate gyrus.
 
 The outcomes that will be assessed in this study are pain intensity using the visual analog
 scale (VAS) and quality of life using the short form-12 (SF-12) as well as time-to-event
 achievement in the form of a decrease in the VAS score = 14 mm.
