“…Twenty studies reported a reduction in blood pressure (Chen, 2019; Chen & Niu, 2019; Ding et al., 2021; Dong et al., 2017; Gu et al., 2020; He, 2018; Huang, 2018; Huang et al., 2011; Li, Gu, & Lu, 2019; Li, Sun, et al., 2019; Lin et al., 2021; Liu & Shi, 2017; Wan et al., 2012; Wang, 2018, 2020; Wu & Feng, 2003; Yin et al., 2007; Yu et al., 2018; Zhang, 2016; Zheng et al., 2017; Zou et al., 2020), and nine interventions were analysed in a network graph centred on medication, forming three triangular closed loops: medication‐medication + moxibustion‐medication + auricular pressure, medication‐medication + moxibustion‐medication + auricular pressure + moxibustion, medication + moxibustion‐medication + auricular pressure‐medication + moxibustion + auricular pressure (Figure 3b). Based on the probability analysis in Figure 4b, medication + moxibustion + acupuncture had the highest volume of 100% curve under the surface, making it the most effective intervention for systolic pressure reduction in the clinical treatment of high blood pressure.…”

BackgroundThe prevalence of essential hypertension contributed significantly to morbidity and mortality rates. Acupuncture‐related therapies were commonly employed in hypertension treatment. Nevertheless, a lack of conclusive evidence left uncertainties regarding the optimal strategies for managing hypertensive populations.ObjectivesConduct a comprehensive systematic review to evaluate the existing clinical evidence about the effectiveness of acupuncture and moxibustion‐related therapies in managing hypertension, by employing network meta‐analysis techniques.MethodsA comprehensive electronic search was conducted across n of databases. This search covered studies available up to October 2022. Randomized controlled trials assessing acupuncture and moxibustion‐related therapies in managing hypertension based on traditional Chinese medicine were screened. Primary outcome measures included the antihypertensive effectiveness rate, variations in blood pressure and the incorporation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome manifestations. The review follows the guidelines outlined in the PRISMA statement.ResultsWe identified a total of 24 trials with 1867 patients, which evaluated the efficacy of various acupuncture‐related therapies for hypertension management. Network meta‐analysis showed that moxibustion and auricular point sticking combined with medication therapy had the best effect in terms of antihypertensive effective rate (medication + moxibustion + auricular pressure vs. medication = 1.29 [1.09, 1.54]; sucra = 85.9, p < .05) and hypertension symptom improvement (medication + moxibustion + auricular pressure vs. medication = −1.55 [−2.98, −0.13]; sucra = 96.1, p < .05). Acupuncture combined with moxibustion combined with medication therapy had the best effect in reducing systolic pressure (medication + moxibustion + acupuncture vs. medication = −8.50 [−10.19, −6.80]; sucra = 100, p < .05) and diastolic blood pressure (medication + moxibustion + acupuncture versus medication = −4.72 [−6.71, −2.72]; sucra = 99.71, p < 0.05).ConclusionsNetwork meta‐analysis suggested that the combined use of moxibustion and auricular point application in conjunction with drug therapy showed the highest likelihood of being the most effective treatment in terms of antihypertensive efficiency rates and improvement in hypertension symptoms. Furthermore, the combination of acupuncture and moxibustion alongside drug treatment emerged as the most promising approach for reducing systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. Limited by the methodological quality and quantity of the included studies, the results need to be interpreted with caution. It is necessary to conduct more high‐quality randomized controlled trials of acupuncture‐related therapies for the adjuvant treatment of hypertension in the future.Implications for practiceClinicians can use acupuncture‐related therapies to inform their treatment decisions and potentially incorporate acupuncture‐related therapies into their hypertension management protocols.

Background: Chaihu-Shugan-San (CSS), a Traditional Chinese Medicine formula, has been widely used for treating depression since the Ming Dynasty, as recorded in Jingyue Quanshu, but its effectiveness and safety lack comprehensive and objective evaluation. Based on our meta-analysis, we aimed to adequately evaluate the efficacy and risk of CSS by considering the latest clinical literature. Methods: Multiple databases, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, SinoMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chongqing VIP, and Wanfang, were used to collect clinical data. The quality of the included clinical studies was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool, and the data were meta-analyzed using Review Manager 5.0 and Stata 17. The data were obtained from a genome-wide association study, and Mendelian randomization (MR) was performed using R Software 4.3.2 with the TwoSampleMR and MR Pleiotropy RESidual Sum and Outlier packages. Results: A total of 15 studies with 1034 patients and 6 antidepressant drugs were included in this work. Meta-analyses revealed that drug combinations of CSS and antidepressants significantly improved depressive symptoms (weighted mean difference = −4.21; 95% confidence interval [CI]: −5.62–−2.81), increased the effective rate (odds ratio [OR] = 3.82; 95% CI: 2.44–6.83), and reduced side effects (OR = −3.55; 95% CI: −5.66–−1.43) compared with antidepressant monotherapy. Additionally, compared with antidepressant monotherapy, CSS alone exhibited fewer side effects (95% CI:−9.25–−6.95). Like antidepressants, CSS also improved depressive symptoms (weighted mean difference = −0.05; 95% CI: −0.63–−0.52) and increased the effective rate (OR = 1.07; 95% CI: 0.52–2.20). Additionally, MR was used to evaluate the safety of traditional antidepressants, as there was a causal association between amitriptyline and body mass index. Conclusion: This analysis demonstrated that compared with traditional antidepressants, CSS combined with antidepressants was more effective and safer for treating depressed patients. MR showed that a causal relationship may exist between amitriptyline and body mass index. Therefore, clinicians should carefully consider the advantages and potential drawbacks of Traditional Chinese Medicine and classic drugs to serve patients better.
