“…In all 19 RCTs, four studies 5,[10][11][12] controlled for the use of sham electroacupuncture and the remaining articles used usual care for the control group. Totally,14 RCTs 5, 6, 9-11, 13-21 included patients with colorectal cancer, 6 RCTs 12,13,15,17,20,22 included patients with gastric cancer, 2 RCTs 23,24 included patients with colon cancer, 2 RCTs 12,25 included patients with pancreaticoduodenal cancer.The speci c characteristics of the included literature are shown in Table 1.…”

“…According to the descriptions of the included literature, all studies were described as "randomised", of which four 13,17,18,22 only mentioned randomisation, but the speci c randomisation method was not described in the text, so it was not possible to assess whether true randomisation was achieved, and were therefore rated as "uncertain risk". "The rest were classi ed as "low risk".…”

“…The use of electroacupuncture was associated with a statistically signi cant decrease in rst exhaust time (MD=-10.77 hours, 95% CI -13.45 to -8.08, P<0.00001, I2 = 72%). were included in the analysis 5,6,9,13,14,19,21,25 .

“…Two studies 12,25 reported that electroacupuncture treatment reduced the incidence of postoperative gastric paralysis syndrome, which was signi cantly lower than that of the usual care group (P < 0.05). Regarding the improvement of postoperative abdominal distension, 5 studies 9,13,15,19,23 reported that symptoms improved more rapidly after electroacupuncture intervention compared with usual care.…”

Objective The aim of this review was to assess the effects of electroacupuncture(EA) on gastrointestinal function, pain relief and quality of life after surgery for gastrointestinal cancer.Methods Randomised controlled trials were searched in the ten databases and assessed for methodological quality using the risk of bias tool. Meta-analyses were performed using Revman 5.3 software to examine the effects of EA.Results 19 RCTs with 1937 participants were included, the intervention of the control group was usual care (UC) in 15 RCTs and sham electroacupuncture (SA) in 4 RCTs. When EA compared with UC, the meta analysis showed a significant improvement in the time of first exhaust (-10.77 [-13.45 to -8.08]), time of first defecation (-17.91 [-25.25, -14. 32]), time to recovery of bowel sounds (-12.44 [-15.00, -9.87]), time to tolerance of liquid diet (-18.14 [-24.98, -11.29] ), time to tolerance of semi-liquid diet (-20.44 [-33.84, -7.04]), VAS day1 (-0.65 [-0.80, -0.49]), VAS day2 (-1.00 [-1.14, -0.86]), VAS day3 (-0.57 [-0.80, -0.34]), while no significantly decreasing in the hospital stay (-1.16 [-2.56, 0.24]). When EA compared with SA, the time of first exhaust (-15.78 [-24.96 to -6. 60]), time of first defecation (-20.42 [-36.14, -4.70]), hospitalization time (-1.37 [-2.69, -0.05]), time to independent walking (-0.33 [-0.62, -0.04]) was reduced by EA.Conclusion EA may improve gastrointestinal function and quality of life, relieve pain after surgery for gastrointestinal cancer compared with the controls(usual care or shame electroacupunture). Given the high degree of heterogeneity, these findings should be validated in future trials.

“…A total of 121 articles were selected for fulltext screening by reading the titles and abstracts. Fourteen articles [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53] were finally included after 107 articles had been excluded for reasons such as unclear diagnosis, inappropriate intervention method, study type other than RCT or unclear data. In addition, we screened 262 articles cited in the 14 included articles, and 1 of these met the inclusion criteria.…”

ObjectivesThis meta-analysis aimed to systematically evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture in treating postsurgical gastroparesis syndrome (PGS) after thoracic or abdominal surgery.DesignSystematic review and meta-analysis.Data sourcesTwelve databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Medline (Ovid) (from 1946), Web of Science, EBSCO, Scopus, Open Grey, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, Chinese Scientific Journals Database (VIP) and China Biology Medicine disc (CBM)) and three registration websites (WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP), ClinicalTrials.gov, and Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR)) were searched from the inception to September 2022, and citations of the included literature were screened.Eligibility criteriaAll randomised controlled trials addressing invasive acupuncture for PGS.Data extraction and synthesisKey information on the included studies was extracted by two reviewers independently. Risk ratio (RR) with 95% CI was used for categorical data, and mean difference with 95% CI for continuous data. The quality of evidence was assessed using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation. Outcomes were conducted with trial sequential analysis (TSA).ResultsFifteen studies with 759 patients met the inclusion criteria. Subgroup analyses revealed that compared with the drug group, the drug and acupuncture group had a greater positive effect on the total effective rate (TER) (nine trials, n=427; RR=1.20; 95% CI 1.08 to 1.32; P-heterogeneity=0.20, I2=28%, p=0.0004) and the recovery rate (RCR) (six trials, n = 294; RR = 1.61; 95% CI 1.30 to 1.98; P-heterogeneity=0.29, I2=19%, p<0.0001) of PGS after abdominal surgery. However, acupuncture showed no significant advantages in terms of the TER after thoracic surgery (one trial, p=0.13) or thoracic/abdominal surgery-related PGS (two trials, n = 115; RR=1.18; 95% CI 0.89 to 1.57; P-heterogeneity=0.08, I2=67%, p=0.24) and the RCR after thoracic/abdominal surgery (two trials, n=115; RR=1.40; 95% CI 0.97 to 2.01; P-heterogeneity=0.96, I2=0%, p=0.07). The quality of evidence for TER and RCR was moderate certainty. Only one study reported an acupuncture-related adverse event, in the form of mild local subcutaneous haemorrhage and pain that recovered spontaneously. TSA indicated that outcomes reached a necessary effect size except for clinical symptom score.ConclusionBased on subgroup analysis, compared with the drug treatment, acupuncture combined drug has significant advantages in the treatment of PGS associated with abdominal surgery, but not with thoracic surgery.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42022299189.
