Abstract

Abstract Background: Acupuncture therapy shows promise in managing aromatase inhibitor-induced arthralgia (AIA) among breast cancer patients. An umbrella review synthesizes findings from systematic reviews and meta-analyses (SRs/MAs) to assess its effectiveness. Summary: This umbrella review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture therapy in treating AIA among breast cancer patients by analyzing existing evidence from SRs/MAs. Key Messages: Evidence Evaluation: Six SRs/MAs were analyzed, revealing shortcomings in reporting quality, methodological quality, and evidence quality assessment.Methodological Analysis: Comprehensive searches across eight electronic databases were conducted. PRISMA, AMSTAR 2, and GRADE were utilized to assess reporting, methodological quality, and evidence quality, respectively. Efficacy of Acupuncture: Despite methodological shortcomings, recent meta-subgroup analysis suggests the efficacy of acupuncture therapy for AIA patients, recommending a 10-session treatment course. Conclusion: Acupuncture is identified as a secure and effective remedy for AIA sufferers, yet further high-quality research is needed to strengthen the evidence base and endorse acupuncture as a viable treatment option.

针灸治疗芳香化酶抑制剂诱发的乳腺癌关节痛：综述

摘要背景：针灸疗法有望缓解乳腺癌患者因芳香化酶抑制剂引起的关节痛（AIA）。总综述综合了系统综述和荟萃分析（SRs/MAs）的研究结果，以评估其有效性。摘要：本综述旨在通过分析来自系统综述和荟萃分析的现有证据，评估针灸疗法治疗乳腺癌患者 AIA 的有效性。关键信息：证据评估：分析了6篇SR/MA，发现其在报告质量、方法学质量和证据质量评估方面存在不足：对八个电子数据库进行了全面检索。分别采用 PRISMA、AMSTAR 2 和 GRADE 评估报告质量、方法质量和证据质量：尽管在方法学上存在缺陷，但最近的荟萃亚组分析表明，针灸疗法对 AIA 患者有一定疗效，建议采用 10 个疗程的疗程。结论：针灸被认为是对 AIA 患者安全有效的治疗方法，但还需要进一步的高质量研究来加强证据基础，并将针灸作为一种可行的治疗方案。
