Efficacy and safety of acupuncture in the treatment of tension-type headache: a Meta analysis
检索PubMed、Cochrane Library、Embase、Web of Science、中国知网、万方、维普、中国生物医学文献数据库(CBM),检索时限均从2012年1月至2021年12月,收集针刺治疗紧张型头痛的随机对照试验研究。采用Revman5.3和STATA17.0对数据结局指标总有效率和VAS评分进行Meta分析。
To analyze and evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture in the treatment of tension-type headache (TTH).

Wanfang
VIP and CBM dating from January 2012 to December 2021. Then
a Meta analysis was performed on the outcome indicators of total effective rate and VAS score with Revman5.3 and STATA17.0.
Results
2
Under the guidance of the inclusion and exclusion criteria
13 studies were included
with a cumulative sample size of 918 cases
including 427 cases in the treatment groups and 491 cases in the control groups. After the meta analysis
the following result were obtained: Western medicine group: total effective rate:
RR
=1.20
Z
=4.24 (
P
<
0.000 1); VAS score: SMD=0.64
Z
=4.61 (
P
<
0.000 01)
indicating that curative effect of acupuncture was better than that of Western medicine. In the traditional / conventional acupuncture group: total effective rate:
RR
= 1.21
Z
= 3.62 (
P
<
0.05); VAS score: SMD = 0.33
Z
= 2.77 (
P
<
0.05)
suggesting that curative effect of specialized acupuncture was better than that of traditional / conventional acupuncture. Egger regression test: total effective rate: Western medicine group
P
>
0.05
indicating no publication bias; In the traditional / conventional acupuncture group
P
<
0.05
indicating publication bias; VAS score: Western medicine group
P
>
0.05
indicating no publication bias; Traditional / conventional acupuncture group
P
>
0.05
indicating no publication bias.
Conclusion
2
In the treatment of TTH
acupuncture is superior to Western medicine both in efficacy and safety. Meanwhile
specialized acupuncture has better curative effects than traditional / conventional acupuncture.
