Postpartum urinary retention (PUR) is one of the most common complications after parturition which affect women's recovery after childbirth. Many clinical trials have shown that moxibustion, a traditional Chinese medicine therapy, is effective in treating PUR. But its effectiveness has not been evaluated scientifically and systematically. Therefore, this review aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of moxibustion therapy in treating patients with PUR.
We will search the following electronic databases, regardless of publication status and languages, from their respective inception dates to February 2021: the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trails, Pubmed, EMBASE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Chinese Scientific Journal Database, and Wan-Fang Database. Clinical randomized controlled trials (RCTs) related to moxibustion therapy for treating PUR will be included. Study selection, data collection, and quality assessment will be independently conducted by 2 researchers. For data synthesis, we will select either the fixed-effects or random-effects model according to heterogeneity assessment. Cure rates and postvoid residual volume (PVRV) will be the primary outcomes. The total effective rate and first urination time will be the second outcomes. Review Manager Software (RevMan) V.5.3 will be used if it is appropriate for meta-analysis. Otherwise, a systematic narrative synthesis will be conducted. The results will be presented as risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for dichotomous data and weight mean difference (WMD) or standard mean difference (SMD) 95% CI for continuous data.

产后尿潴留（PUR）是分娩后最常见的并发症之一，会影响产妇的产后恢复。许多临床试验表明，艾灸是一种有效的中医疗法，可用于治疗 PUR。但它的疗效尚未得到科学和系统的评估。因此，本综述旨在评估艾灸治疗 PUR 患者的安全性和有效性。
我们将检索以下电子数据库，无论其出版状态和语言如何，检索时间均从各数据库建库时间至 2021 年 2 月：Cochrane 对照试验中心注册库、PubMed、EMBASE、中国知网、中国生物医学文献数据库、中国科学引文数据库和万方数据库。将纳入有关艾灸治疗 PUR 的临床试验。研究选择、数据收集和质量评估将由 2 位研究人员独立进行。对于数据综合，我们将根据异质性评估选择固定效应或随机效应模型。治愈率和残余尿量（PVRV）将作为主要结局。总有效率和首次排尿时间将作为次要结局。如果适合进行荟萃分析，将使用 Review Manager Software（RevMan）V.5.3 进行分析。否则，将进行系统的叙述性综合。二分类数据将呈现为风险比（RR）和 95%置信区间（CI），连续性数据将呈现为加权均数差（WMD）或标准均数差（SMD）95%CI。
