Abstract:
Objective:To revaluate the systematic reviews/meta-analysis of the literature on acupuncture in the treatment of stroke spastic hemiplegia.Methods:CNKI, Wangfang, VIP, CBM, Cochrane Library, PubMed and Embase were searched for systematic reviews/meta-analyses of acupuncture in the treatment of stroke spastic hemiplegia from the establishment of the databases to July 27, 2022. AMSTAR 2 Scale, Prisma statement (2020) and GRADE system were used to evaluate the quality of the collected literature.Results:A total of 5 systematic reviews/meta-analyses were included, all of which were rated as very low by AMSTAR 2. The 5 studies involved a total of 22 outcome measures, and the GRADE rating results were intermediate evidence in 5, low evidence in 8, and very low evidence in 9.Conclusions:Acupuncture therapy has certain therapeutic effects on reducing the degree of limb spasms and improving limb motor function in patients. However, the methodological quality of the included literature is poor, and there is limited high-level evidence to support conclusions. More high-quality experimental research is still needed to provide strong evidence-based medicine evidence.
