Abstract

Background: Knee osteoarthritis causes physical dysfunction, and its prevalence increases with age. Although clinical studies examined acupoint catgut embedding in patients with knee osteoarthritis, no systematic reviews or meta-analyses have been conducted to date. We aim to comprehensively review the effects of acupoint catgut embedding on knee osteoarthritis.

Methods: Eleven databases will be searched from inception to August 1, 2023, without language limitations. Additionally, two registration platforms-ClinicalTrials.gov and the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry-will be searched for ongoing trials. The primary outcomes will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index. Secondary outcomes include the total effective rate, Lysholm Score, and adverse effects. Two reviewers will independently select the studies, extract data, and evaluate the risk of bias and the quality of evidence.

Discussion: This systematic review will provide evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of acupoint catgut embedding in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

穴位埋线治疗膝关节骨性关节炎的有效性和安全性：系统回顾和元分析方案。

背景：膝关节骨关节炎会导致身体功能障碍，其发病率随年龄增长而增加。虽然临床研究对膝关节骨性关节炎患者进行了穴位埋线治疗，但迄今为止尚未进行过系统回顾或荟萃分析。我们旨在全面回顾穴位埋线对膝关节骨性关节炎的影响：方法：我们将检索从开始到 2023 年 8 月 1 日的 11 个数据库，没有语言限制。此外，还将在两个注册平台--ClinicalTrials.gov 和世界卫生组织国际临床试验注册中心--搜索正在进行的试验。主要结果将使用视觉模拟量表和西安大略和麦克马斯特大学骨关节炎指数进行评估。次要结果包括总有效率、Lysholm 评分和不良反应。两名评审员将独立选择研究、提取数据并评估偏倚风险和证据质量：本系统综述将为膝骨关节炎患者穴位埋线的安全性和有效性提供证据。
