Study on Electroacupuncture for Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
Background
- Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes, but current treatments have limitations.
- Electroacupuncture (EA) is being considered as an alternative treatment for DPN, but its effectiveness and safety are not well-established.
Methods
- Searching for relevant studies in English and Chinese databases.
- Using RevMan5.3 to analyze the data and conduct meta-analyses.
- Evaluating the quality of the included studies using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment 2.0 tool.
- Assessing the strength and certainty of the evidence using the GRADE system.
- Performing publication bias, sensitivity, and subgroup analyses.
Discussion
- This protocol outlines the planned systematic review and meta-analysis to provide up-to-date information on the effectiveness and safety of EA in treating DPN.
- The results will help guide treatment strategies for DPN using EA.
