Abstract EN
Objective.
This study aims to explore evidence for acupuncture points stimulation (APS) in treatment of Meniere’s disease (MD).
Method.
A literature search was conducted in seven databases including EMBASE, Medline, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CBM, CNKI, and WangFang database and the data analysis was performed by using the RevMan version 5.3.
Results.
12 RCTs with 993 participants were acquired after the search.
The quality of most eligible studies was very low which limited the value of the meta-analysis.
Compared with western medicine comprehensive treatment (WMCT), the APS alone or in combination with WMCT had a significant positive effect in controlling vertigo; however, the result was negative in hearing improvement and DHI.
No adverse events were reported in the studies.
Conclusion.
The APS might be a promising therapeutic approach for MD.
However, the currently available evidence is insufficient to make a definitive conclusion for the poor quality of included studies.
More high-quality researches with larger sample size are urgently needed to assess the effectiveness and safety.
