Abstract

|
|
Background: There are numerous reports worldwide on the use of complementary therapy for female infertility. This paper presents an overview of the available systematic reviews (SRs) on the outcomes of complementary therapy for female infertility.
Methods: Electronic databases, including Pubmed, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) and Google scholar, and six Korean medical databases (KoreaMed, KMBASE, OASIS, NDSL, KCI, and RISS) will be searched from their date of inception. Eligible SRs will be independently selected by two authors, according to the defined inclusion criteria. Methodological quality of the final selected SRs will then be evaluated using the ‘Assessment of multiple systematic reviews 2 (AMSTAR2)’. Finally, we will report on the characteristics and outcomes of efficacy and safety of each individual SR.
Discussion: This overview will apprise the overall quality and evidence of the outcomes of SRs of complementary therapy for female infertility.
