Acupuncture methods (include moxibustion) are used frequently in the treatment of herpes zoster. However, the choice is usually made only based on personal experience among different acupuncture methods. This study aims to compare the efficacy of different acupuncture methods for herpes zoster.
All randomized controlled trials of acupuncture methods for herpes zoster will be searched in 7 databases including Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, Wan-fang database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure database, and VIP Chinese Science and Technique Journals database database. After screening process, effectiveness rate will be extracted from all the included randomized controlled trials as primary outcomes. The Bayesian network meta-analysis will be conducted by generate mixed treatment comparisons 0.14.3, Stata13.0, and Review Man 5.3.
The results of this study will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication.
Our review will compare the efficacy of different acupuncture treatments for herpes zoster and find a better selection guideline for clinicians and patients.

针灸方法（包括艾灸）常用于带状疱疹的治疗。然而，在不同的针灸方法中，选择通常仅基于个人经验。本研究旨在比较不同针灸方法治疗带状疱疹的疗效。
将在包括Cochrane图书馆、Embase、PubMed、Web of Science、万方数据库、中国知网数据库和维普中文科技期刊数据库在内的7个数据库中检索所有关于针灸方法治疗带状疱疹的随机对照试验。经过筛选过程后，将从所有纳入的随机对照试验中提取有效率作为主要结局。将通过使用软件generate mixed treatment comparisons 0.14.3、Stata13.0和Review Man 5.3进行贝叶斯网络荟萃分析。
本研究结果将提交给同行评审期刊发表。
我们的综述将比较不同针灸治疗带状疱疹的疗效，并为临床医生和患者找到更好的选择指南。
