“…After removing duplicates (n = 31) from a total of 1990 records identified using the search strategy, 1959 studies were screened in view of the title, abstract, or full text, and 1937 were discarded (1558 studies were unrelated to sports medicine; 142 studies were not primary studies; 100 studies were experimental studies; 30 studies were not related to intervention using acupuncture points, etc.). Finally, 22 case reports/series were included in our review [27][28][29][30][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50]. The summary of the characteristics of the inclusion studies based on the items in the CARE checklist is shown in Table 1.…”

“…On the other hand, sports injuries other than the musculoskeletal system were as follows. There were two studies [29,30] on exercise-related delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS, 57 cases) and one study [40] on exercise-induced fatigue (41 cases) in athletes. Two studies reported mental and behavioral disorders such as yips for golfers (1 case) [37] and postconcussive symptoms (3 cases) [28].…”

Acupuncture is one of the representative complementary and alternative medicine treatments used for various types of pain. This systematic review summarized and analyzed clinical case reports/series utilizing acupuncture for treating sports injuries in athletes, thereby providing the basis for further research to establish clinical evidence on acupuncture treatment in sports medicine. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in Embase including MEDLINE up to 21 August 2019 without language and publication date restrictions. Due to the heterogeneity of each study, explanatory and descriptive analyses were performed. As a result, in each case report/series, it was confirmed that acupuncture was applied for treating various types of sports injuries experienced by athletes. Acupuncture can help relieve short-term pain and recover from dysfunction and has been used as a useful, noninvasive, and conservative modality for managing sports injuries such as lateral meniscus rupture, femoral acetabular impingement, ganglion cysts, and sports hernia. In addition, acupuncture has been suggested as a treatment worth trying for diseases such as yips and delayed onset muscle soreness. The included cases showed some potential of acupuncture in the treatment of various types of sports injuries, beyond pain control in musculoskeletal disorders. However, considering that this review was based on case reports/series, a limited understanding of the clinical value of acupuncture in athletes is required. In the future, more specific research questions and hypotheses should be addressed to generate evidence based on experimental research.

“…No que se à prática terapêutica para redução de fadiga e recuperação muscular, a acupuntura (AC) tem sido amplamente utilizada para melhorar o treinamento da força, acelerar a recuperação dos treinos e danos, alcançar melhores condições fisiológicas e recuperar a fadiga muscular aguda (Lin et al, 2009;Garlanger et al, 2017) Jianjing). Usichenko et al (2009), apresentam estes pontos de AC como os de maiores valores no aumento de temperatura e consequente redução de fadiga no membro superior.…”

“…Compared to studies that failed to meet the inclusion criteria for this systematic review, inconsistent and heterogeneous findings appear to be the norm, with two studies 40,41 finding acupuncture to be more effective than a control, and one study finding that acupuncture did not significantly reduce post-exercise VAS among 20 male cyclists 42 . Furthermore, this review was able to include five studies and use a robust quality appraisal tool, which compares favourably to the two existing systematic reviews for DOMS 13,19 including two to four studies, neither of which have used the Cochrane quality assessment scale.…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature on acupuncture for delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and report upon study quality and treatment outcomes. Design: Systematic review. Data sources: Searches were conducted in the following electronic databases from their inception to 31 March 2018: CINAHL, MEDLINE, Allied and Complementary Medicine (AMED) and SPORTDiscus. Reference lists of all included studies and relevant reviews were hand-searched for additional studies. Eligibility criteria for selecting studies: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated the effectiveness of acupuncture in DOMS in adults measuring the pre-specified primary outcome (pain) were included. Data collection and analysis: Data were extracted using pre-defined extraction forms and the Standards for Reporting Interventions in Clinical Trials of Acupuncture (STRICTA) checklist. Quality of studies was evaluated based on the Cochrane risk of bias assessment. Results: Five RCTs investigating laboratory-induced DOMS in the upper limbs with a total sample size of 182 healthy participants were included. Of the included studies, three reported superiority of acupuncture over no treatment in DOMS pain reduction as measured by visual analogue scale, pressure pain threshold or electrical pain threshold, while two studies yielded non-significant results. All studies demonstrated risk of bias in one or more areas, commonly lack of blinding of participants and personnel. Summary/conclusion: There is conflicting to limited evidence to support the effects of acupuncture on the relief of pain associated with DOMS. The findings were confounded by methodological limitations and reporting insufficiency. More rigorous, high-quality, and well-reported RCTs are required to further evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture for DOMS.
