This meta-analysis aims to assess the efficacy of acupuncture-related therapy on knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients.
We searched PubMed, Embase, and CNKI databases to screen eligible trials between 2017 and 2022. All trials that used acupuncture/moxibustion of KOA patients were included. Study selection and data extraction were performed by 2 researchers independently. The statistics was performed by using R 4.1.1.
A total of 17 trials were included in our meta-analysis. Meta-analysis results showed the evidence of the relation of several common acupunture/moxibustion treatments by network meta-analysis. In the fixed effect model, acupuncture/moxibustion has superior therapy efficacy than sham treatment (mean difference = -0.34, 95% confidence interval = (-0.52,-0.16), =0.95). In fixed effect model, specific acupuncture/moxibustion has superior therapy efficacy than usual acupuncture/moxibustion (mean difference = -0.45, 95% confidence interval = (-0.62, -0.29), < 0.01).
Acupuncture/moxibustion has superior therapy efficacy than sham treatment. Specific acupuncture/moxibustion has superior therapy efficacy than usual acupuncture/moxibustion.
本荟萃分析旨在评估针灸相关疗法对膝骨关节炎（KOA）患者的疗效。
我们检索了PubMed、Embase和中国知网数据库，以筛选2017年至2022年期间符合条件的试验。纳入所有使用针灸治疗KOA患者的试验。由两名研究人员独立进行研究筛选和数据提取。使用R 4.1.1进行统计分析。
我们的荟萃分析共纳入17项试验。荟萃分析结果通过网状荟萃分析显示了几种常见针灸治疗之间关系的证据。在固定效应模型中，针灸比假治疗具有更好的治疗效果（平均差值=-0.34，95%置信区间=（-0.52，-0.16），I²=0.95）。在固定效应模型中，特定针灸比普通针灸具有更好的治疗效果（平均差值=-0.45，95%置信区间=（-0.62，-0.29），P<0.01）。
针灸比假治疗具有更好的治疗效果。特定针灸比普通针灸具有更好的治疗效果。
