Assessment about domestic trials of acupuncture for cancer patients’ quality of life in the past five years
Objective Objective To know the effect of acupuncture for cancer patients ’ quality of life and the quality of related literatures. Methods The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) studies involving the effect of acupuncture for cancer patients’ quality of life,related complications with scores of quality of life as the onset criteria published from January 2012 to October 2017 were searched on CNKI,WANFANG and VIP databases. Cochrane Risk of Bias Criteria and STRICTA Criteria were used to assess the quality of trials. Results 32 RCTs were included,involving 1878 patients. A majority of the included trials were of moderate to high risk of bias in methodological quality,and the quality of evidence was low. Due to the large heterogeneity among the studies,the outcome data could not be pooled quantitatively. 68. 75% of trials reported that acupuncture could improve the cancer patients’ quality of life,but 9. 38%trials didn’t support this viewpoint. There were still many problems in the quality of the methodology and acupuncture intervention in this field,such as imperfection and inaccuracy. Conclusion The Results show that acupuncture can improve the quality of life of cancer patients to a certain extent. But because of the low quality evidences of studies and small sample size,the credibility is not high. High quality,multi-centered prospective RCTs with bigger sample size are needed to certify the effect of acupuncture.
