Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disorder that has a large impact on patients' lives. In addition to Western medicine, the use of additional treatments, such as acupuncture, in treating the positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms is increasing. We conducted a systematic review on the use of acupuncture as an add-on treatment for patients with schizophrenia that are in regular care, with a special focus on the treatment of the often accompanying sleep disorders. In this study, we searched the Medline, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and ERIC databases with a cut-off date of 31 December 2017, thereby following the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) protocol. Our search resulted in 26 eligible studies with 1181 patients with schizophrenia who received acupuncture treatment. Most studies showed limited evidence for the use of acupuncture as add-on therapy in the treatment of the positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms, but beneficial effects have been reported in the treatment of the accompanying sleep disorders. Limited evidence was found for the use of acupuncture as add-on therapy in the treatment of patients with schizophrenia; however, positive results were found in the treatment of sleep disorders, but this result needs to be confirmed in large, randomized, controlled trials.
精神分裂症是一种严重的精神疾病，对患者的生活有很大影响。除了西医之外，使用额外的治疗方法，如针灸，来治疗阳性、阴性和认知症状的情况正在增加。我们对针灸作为常规护理中精神分裂症患者的辅助治疗方法进行了系统评价，特别关注对经常伴随的睡眠障碍的治疗。在本研究中，我们检索了截至2017年12月31日的Medline、ScienceDirect、Cochrane图书馆、Scopus和ERIC数据库，从而遵循系统评价和荟萃分析优先报告项目（PRISMA）方案的指南。我们的检索结果得到了26项符合条件的研究，涉及1181名接受针灸治疗的精神分裂症患者。大多数研究显示，针灸作为辅助治疗用于治疗阳性、阴性和认知症状的证据有限，但在治疗伴随的睡眠障碍方面有有益效果的报道。在针灸作为辅助治疗用于精神分裂症患者的治疗方面，证据有限；然而，在睡眠障碍的治疗中发现了积极结果，但这一结果需要在大型随机对照试验中得到证实。
