Objectives: The purpose of this systematic review is to overview and evaluate the effect on postpartum hypogalactia after acupuncture treatment.
Methods: Relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were identified by database searches in Embase, Pubmed, CENTRAL, CNKI, KISS. Searching keywords were "Hypogalactia" or "Hypolactaion" and "Acupuncture". After searching qualified articles, we independently assessed the risk of bias according to the Cochrane Rob criteria.
Results: Among the 81 articles five RCTs were finally selected. Four of the selected were statistically significant. One of them was not statistically significant because it was comparative study of chinese medicine and acupuncture treatment. The quality of the evidence for specific comparisons ranged from low to high.
Conclusions: Our systematic review found encouraging. Acupuncture treatment would be effective way to increase insufficient milk supply on postpartum hypogalactia.
