Abstract:
Literatures on acupuncture-moxibustion treatment of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in the recent decade were searched in the databases of Pubmed, MEDLINE, Biological Abstracts, EMBASE, Sinomed, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, et al. The general situation was comprehensively analyzed and reviewed from experimental design, treatment method, efficacy evaluation, mechanism research and so on. The results showed that acupuncture has a certain therapeutic effect, but the research is still in the preliminary stage, the relative literatures are insufficient and in a low quality. There is still a controversy on the efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of CIPN. High quality, large sample and multicenter randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews are needed to verify the efficacy of acupuncture. The mechanism of acupuncture treatment of CIPN is still unclear and needs further research and exploration.
