Abstract:
Objective:To summarize the evidence of the effect of non-drug intervention of traditional Chinese medicine on smoking cessation in smokers.Methods:This study was a systematic review. Based on the ′6S′ evidence model, top-down systematic search of domestic and foreign guidelines websites, relevant professional websites and Web of science, PubMed, EMbase, Scopus, Cochrane Library, China Knowledge Network, Wanfang, Weipu and China Biomedical Literature Database on the evidence of the effect of non-drug intervention of traditional Chinese medicine on smoking cessation in smokers. The types of evidence included clinical decision-making, evidence summary, guidelines, systematic evaluation and expert consensus. The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the database to April 10, 2025. Two researchers independently extracted, summarized and evaluated the evidence of the included literature.Results:A total of 8 856 articles were retrieved, and 13 articles were finally included, including 10 systematic reviews, 2 guidelines and 1 clinical decision. A total of 22 pieces of evidence were collected, including ear acupoint therapy, fire needle therapy, acupuncture therapy, filiform needle acupuncture, acupoint catgut embedding, acupoint application, combined therapy and follow-up period. Among them, 86.0% of the evidence was type Ⅰ evidence, and 72.7% of the evidence was recommended as A strength. The results showed that these non-drug intervention methods of traditional Chinese medicine could significantly improved the short-term and long-term abstinence rates and improved the symptoms of tobacco dependence, and the effect of combined therapy was even more significant.Conclusion:Evidence shows that non-drug intervention of traditional Chinese medicine has a good effect on smoking cessation in smokers.
