Postpartum stress urinary incontinence (PSUI) is a widespread complaint in postpartum women, which significantly affects their quality of life. Acupuncture has been widely used as an alternative complementary therapy for the treatment of PSUI. This protocol is carried out to comprehensively explore the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture for treating PSUI.
Randomized clinical trials related to acupuncture treatment of PSUI will be searched in Chinese and English literature databases: PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Wanfang Database, and the Technology Periodical Database. Changes in pelvic floor muscle strength compared with baseline will be accepted as the primary outcomes, and secondary outcomes will be the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form score, the urodynamic indexes, the incontinence quality of life questionnaire, and adverse effects of acupuncture. All publications will be screened and extracted by 2 reviewers independently. Quality of the eligible publications will be assessed according to the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool and statistical analyses will be conducted by using the Review Manager V.5.3.
This study will provide a high-quality comprehensive evaluation for the clinical efficacy and safety of acupuncture for PSUI.
This systematic review will provide comprehensive evidence of acupuncture treatment on specific outcomes for PSUI.
Because of the study will not collect personal information, ethical approval will not be required. The results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.

产后压力性尿失禁（PSUI）是产后妇女普遍存在的问题，严重影响其生活质量。针灸作为治疗 PSUI 的一种替代补充疗法已被广泛应用。本方案旨在全面探讨针灸治疗 PSUI 的有效性和安全性。
将检索中文和英文文献数据库（PubMed、Web of Science、EMBASE、Cochrane 中央对照试验注册库、中国知网、中国生物医学文献数据库、万方数据库和维普数据库）中与针灸治疗 PSUI 相关的随机对照临床试验。将与基线相比盆底肌力量的变化作为主要结局，国际尿失禁咨询问卷-尿失禁简短问卷评分、尿动力学指标、尿失禁生活质量问卷和针灸不良反应作为次要结局。所有发表的文章都将由 2 位评审员独立筛选和提取。根据 Cochrane 偏倚风险工具评估合格出版物的质量，并使用 Review Manager V.5.3 进行统计分析。
本研究将为针灸治疗 PSUI 的临床疗效和安全性提供高质量的综合评价。
本系统评价将为针灸治疗 PSUI 的特定结局提供全面的证据。
由于本研究不收集个人信息，因此不需要伦理批准。研究结果将发表在同行评议的期刊上。
