Meta analysis of randomized controlled clinical research literature on acupuncture hypothermia

Objective: Meta analysis of the clinical efficacy of acupuncture therapy hypothermia. Method: By systematically retrieving databases such as China Qianwei, Wanfang Database, Wip Database, and other databases, including clinical studies on acupuncture therapy hypothermia published in 2003—2012, extracting the original data, combining and analyzing the original data. Results: A total of 252 literature were queried, excluding literature that did not meet the purpose of the study and test methods, including nine of the evaluation criteria, and using RevMan5.2 for Meta analysis. Incorporated literature is all low-to-medium quality literature, OR-4.80, 95% CI is [3.09, 7.46]. The overall performance of the test, Z−6.99, P−0. 00001, shows a significant difference in efficacy between the treatment and control groups. Conclusion: Meta analysis showed that acupuncture abatement was more effective than the control group, suggesting that acupuncture therapy could increase the efficiency of abatement. However, the literature included in this study is of low to medium quality literature and is limited to Meta analysis. Conclusive conclusions are not yet available on the effects of acupuncture therapy and further large-scale clinical trials are still required.
