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

Z
= 2.77 (
P
<

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
