摘要
目的:本系统综述和荟萃分析旨在评价各种针灸疗法治疗支气管哮喘的有效性和安全性。方法:在多个数据库中进行全面的文献检索,以确定有关针灸治疗哮喘的系统评价和荟萃分析。治疗方法包括传统针灸、电针、温针、艾灸、拔罐、耳针、头皮针、穴位包埋、穴位注射等。主要转归是总有效率,次要转归包括症状缓解率、肺功能(FEV1、FVC、FEV1/FVC、PEF)及其他相关指标。使用AMSTAR 2工具评估证据的方法学质量。结果:纳入14项系统综述,包括167项主要研究,共15088名参与者。荟萃分析显示,与对照干预相比,针灸治疗显著提高了总有效率(风险比= 1.11,95% CI: 1.03-1.20, p = 0.006),研究间异质性极低(I2=0.0%)。针刺在症状缓解和一些肺功能参数方面也有益处。在安全性方面,纳入的14篇综述中只有3篇报告了安全性结果,此外,AMSTAR 2评估的证据质量总体为低至中等水平,安全性报告明显不足。结论:本系统综述和荟萃分析提示针灸治疗可能有效改善支气管哮喘患者的症状和一些功能结局。然而,由于研究质量、异质性和不充分的安全性报告的限制,需要进一步的高质量研究来证实这些发现并建立哮喘治疗的最佳针灸方案。
Effectiveness and safety of acupuncture therapy for bronchial asthma: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of various acupuncture therapies for bronchial asthma.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in multiple databases to identify systematic reviews and meta-analyses investigating acupuncture therapies for asthma. The therapies included traditional acupuncture, electroacupuncture, warm needling, moxibustion, cupping, auricular acupuncture, scalp acupuncture, acupoint embedding, and acupoint injection. The primary outcome was total efficacy rate, with secondary outcomes including symptom relief rate, pulmonary function tests (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, PEF), and other relevant measures. The methodological quality of evidence was evaluated using the AMSTAR 2 tool.
Results: Fourteen systematic reviews encompassing 167 primary studies with a total of 15,088 participants were included. The meta-analysis revealed that acupuncture therapies significantly improved the total efficacy rate compared to control interventions (Risk Ratio = 1.11, 95% CI: 1.03-1.20, p = 0.006), with remarkably low heterogeneity among studies (I2=0.0%). Acupuncture also showed benefits in symptom relief and some pulmonary function parameters. Regarding safety, only three of the 14 included reviews reported safety outcomes, in addition to an overall low to moderate quality of evidence as assessed by AMSTAR 2, and safety reporting was notably insufficient.
Conclusion: This systematic review and meta-analysis suggest that acupuncture therapies may be effective in improving symptoms and some functional outcomes in patients with bronchial asthma. However, due to the limitations in study quality, heterogeneity, and inadequate safety reporting, further high-quality research is needed to confirm these findings and establish optimal acupuncture protocols for asthma management.
