Abstract
Background: Cupping therapy (CT) on acupoint CV8 Shenque is a potential treatment of urticaria. This review will analyze the efficacy and safety of CT on CV8 Shenque.
Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing CT on CV8 Shenque with other treatments were retrieved from 14 worldwide databases from their inception to June 2024. Primary outcomes were symptom scores (SS), quality of life (QoL), and effective rate (ER). Using Review Manager, results were presented as risk ratio (RR) or mean difference (MD), with a 95% confidence interval (CI). The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane "risk of bias" tool, and the quality of evidence was evaluated with the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE).
Results: A total of six RCTs with 409 patients were included. Compared with other treatments, CT on CV8 Shenque significantly improved ER (RR = 1.20, 95% CI [1.07, 1.35], P = .002, 6 RCTs, n = 409), SS (including wheal scores (MD = -0.64, 95% CI [-0.91, -0.37], 2 RCTs, n = 123), symptom duration scores (MD = -0.37, 95% CI [-0.62, -0.12], 2 RCTs, n = 123), and QoL (MD = -2.08, 95% CI [-3.28, -0.88], 1 RCT, n = 66).
Conclusion: CT on CV8 Shenque can be a potential therapy for urticaria. Since the overall quality and quantity of the included RCTs were not satisfactory, high-quality research is necessary to further verify the results in the future.
期刊介绍：
Launched in 1995, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine has a mission to promote the art and science of integrative medicine and a responsibility to improve public health. We strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical medical journalism independent of special interests that is timely, accurate, and a pleasure to read. We publish original, peer-reviewed scientific articles that provide health care providers with continuing education to promote health, prevent illness, and treat disease. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine was the first journal in this field to be indexed in the National Library of Medicine. In 2006, 2007, and 2008, ATHM had the highest impact factor ranking of any independently published peer-reviewed CAM journal in the United States—meaning that its research articles were cited more frequently than any other journal’s in the field.
Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine does not endorse any particular system or method but promotes the evaluation and appropriate use of all effective therapeutic approaches. Each issue contains a variety of disciplined inquiry methods, from case reports to original scientific research to systematic reviews. The editors encourage the integration of evidence-based emerging therapies with conventional medical practices by licensed health care providers in a way that promotes a comprehensive approach to health care that is focused on wellness, prevention, and healing. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine hopes to inform all licensed health care practitioners about developments in fields other than their own and to foster an ongoing debate about the scientific, clinical, historical, legal, political, and cultural issues that affect all of health care.
