Pressure injury is an important global health issue characterized by the high incidence, rapid progression, and difficult healing. How to perform timely treatment and care have been the current focus and challenge for health care professionals. Moxibustion can improve skin microcirculation, promote blood circulation, activate tissue cells, inhibit, and kill bacteria on the wounded surface, thus promoting wound healing. However, the clinically reported efficacy of moxibustion in the treatment of pressure injuries varies a lot and lacks evidence-based medical evidence. Therefore, this meta-analysis aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of moxibustion on the treatment of pressure injuries.
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reporting the moxibustion for pressure injury published before January 2022 will be searched in online databases, including the Chinese Scientific Journal Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database, Wanfang Database, China Biomedical Literature Database, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science. References of eligible literatures will be manually reviewed. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, literature screening, data extraction and quality assessment will be independently performed by 2 reviewers, and meta-analysis of relevant data will be conducted using Stata14.0 software.
The study will provide a high-quality convincing assessment of efficacy and safety of moxibustion for pressure injury.
The results of this study will provide the latest evidence support for judging the efficacy and safety of moxibustion on the treatment of pressure injury.

压力性损伤是一个重要的全球健康问题，其特点是发病率高、进展迅速、愈合困难。如何进行及时的治疗和护理一直是医疗保健专业人员关注的焦点和挑战。艾灸可以改善皮肤微循环，促进血液循环，激活组织细胞，抑制和杀死创面细菌，从而促进伤口愈合。然而，临床上报道的艾灸治疗压力性损伤的疗效差异很大，缺乏循证医学证据。因此，本荟萃分析旨在评估艾灸治疗压力性损伤的疗效和安全性。
检索中国科学引文数据库、中国知网、万方数据库、中国生物医学文献数据库、PubMed、Cochrane 图书馆、Embase 和 Web of Science 等在线数据库，收集截至 2022 年 1 月发表的艾灸治疗压力性损伤的随机对照试验（RCT）。根据纳入和排除标准，由 2 名评价者独立进行文献筛选、数据提取和质量评价，并采用 Stata14.0 软件进行相关数据的荟萃分析。
该研究将为艾灸治疗压力性损伤的疗效和安全性提供高质量的令人信服的评估。
本研究的结果将为判断艾灸治疗压力性损伤的疗效和安全性提供最新的证据支持。
