Background.
Acupuncture has been shown to reduce preoperative anxiety in several previous randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
In order to assess the preoperative anxiolytic efficacy of acupuncture therapy, this study conducted a meta-analysis of an array of appropriate studies.
Methods.
Four electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, and CINAHL) were searched up to February 2014.
In the meta-analysis data were included from RCT studies in which groups receiving preoperative acupuncture treatment were compared with control groups receiving a placebo for anxiety.
Results.
Fourteen publications (N = 1,034) were included.
Six publications, using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State (STAI-S), reported that acupuncture interventions led to greater reductions in preoperative anxiety relative to sham acupuncture (mean difference = 5.63, P < .00001, 95% CI [4.14, 7.11]).
Further eight publications, employing visual analogue scales (VAS), also indicated significant differences in preoperative anxiety amelioration between acupuncture and sham acupuncture (mean difference = 19.23, P < .00001, 95% CI [16.34, 22.12]).
Conclusions.
Acupuncture therapy aiming at reducing preoperative anxiety has a statistically significant effect relative to placebo or nontreatment conditions.
Well-designed and rigorous studies that employ large sample sizes are necessary to corroborate this finding.
