Abstract

|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this review was to overview and evaluate the efficacy of Acupoint sticking therapy for women with endometriosis.
Methods: We searched for randomized controlled clinical trials(RCTs) using acupoint sticking therapy on endometriosis in 5 electronic databases such as EMBASE, Pubmed, and CAJ. The results of the studies were analyzed and the risk of bias was assessed by using Cochrane risk of bias tool.
Results: Two RCTs were included for analysis. In the selected studies, Treatment group was higher effective cure rate than any control group. In one RCT, Acupoint sticking therapy was only used, but the other RCT was treated acupoint sticking therapy combined with acupuncture. So, Interventions in 2 studies were not same, Quantitative synthesis was impossible.
Conclusion: The limitation of this review is that the number of studies included is small. However, our systematic review provides a basis for Acupoint sticking therapy for endometriosis. Acupoint sticking therapy was considered as one of external treatment method for patients with endometriosis.
