This paper presents the Acupuncture Controls gUideline for Reporting humAn Trials and Experiments (ACURATE) checklist, an extension of The Consolidated Standards for Reporting of Trials (CONSORT) and to be used along with STandards for Reporting Interventions in Clinical Trials of Acupuncture (STRICTA) when both real and sham acupuncture needles are used in the study. This checklist focuses on a clear depiction of sham needling procedures to enhance replicability and enable a precise appraisal. We encourage researchers to use ACURATE in trials and reviews involving sham acupuncture to assist reporting of sham acupuncture procedures and the related components.
本文介绍了针刺对照试验和实验报告指南(ACURATE)清单,它是《试验报告统一标准》(CONSORT)的扩展版本,当研究中同时使用真针灸针和假针灸针时,应与《针灸临床试验干预报告标准》(STRICTA)一起使用。该清单侧重于清晰描述假针刺程序,以提高可重复性并实现精确评估。我们鼓励研究人员在涉及假针灸的试验和综述中使用ACURATE,以协助报告假针灸程序及相关组成部分。
