Background: Acupotomy was used to treat tenosynovitis of hand flexor tendons (THFT) in China. But it's uncertain about the efficacy of acupotomy for THFT. We plan to evaluate the efficacy and safety about acupotomy therapy in the treatment of THFT through this review.Methods: The protocol about this review was registered in PROSPERO (registration number: CRD42022330568). We searched 6 databases from their respective inception dates to January 11, 2022. Studies searched was screened by our reviewers, and then the raw data was filtered out. We used RevMan 5.3 software to perform statistical analysis.Results: 11 studies involving 828 patients were shortlisted. The experimental group showed obvious advantages compared with the control group, such as effective rate (odds ratio [OR] = 6.77, 95% CI [confidence intervals] = [3.89, 11.77], P < .00001), cure rate (OR = 3.32, 95% CI = [1.81, 6.11], P = .0001) and Vas score (MD = −1.21, 95% CI = [−2.00, −0.42], Z = 3.01, P < .003).Conclusions: According to the above results, Acupotomy is an effective and safe treatment for THFT. So it should be recommended for the treatment of THFT patients.Abbreviations: CI = confidence intervals, OR = odds ratio, RCT = randomized controlled trial, ROB = risk of bias, THFT = tenosynovitis of hand flexor tendons, VAS = the visual analogue scale.
In this paper, a centralized collection and measurement system of energy is developed based on the requirements of intelligent substation for the development of electronic, integrated circuit and intellectualization of in-station metering equipment in combination with the main working mode of the terminal of energy collection in intelligent substation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
