Objectives: The purpose of this study was to review the acupuncture and moxibustion therapy for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in China.
Methods: The literatures were searched using the database-China Academic Journals(CAJ)(?2015.1.). Clinical studies of acupuncture and moxibustion therapy for GERD such as randomized controlled trial(RCT), non-randomized controlled trial(NRCT), case series, or case report were included.
Results: Thirty studies met our inclusion criteria: 24 RCTs, 4 NRCTs, 1 case series, 1 case report. Various kinds of treatment such as body acupuncture, abdominal acupuncture, acupuncture therapy with finger on back-shu point, electroacupuncture, acupoint injection, auricular acupuncture, and moxibustion were used in the clinical studies. The treatment groups take herbal medicines at the same time in 16 studies, and proton pump inhibitor(PPI) and histamine 2 receptor antagonist were used as a comparative treatment in the most of studies. Acupuncture or moxibustion treatments were done daily or 2?3 times a week for 5 days?18 weeks. All of studies reported higher effective rate in the acupuncture or moxibustion treatment group compared to the western medication control group.
Conclusions: The results of this study could be used for the future practice and the clinical research about the acupuncture and moxibustion therapy for GERD.
