针刺治疗癌症相关症状及放化疗不良反应的随机对照试验报告质量评价
Overall reporting quality of acupuncture treatment for cancer-related symptoms and adverse effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy
摘要
Abstract
Objective:The objective of this study was to systematically evaluate the reporting quality of recent ran-domized controlled trials(RCTs)investigating the potential of acupuncture for the management of cancer-related symptoms and chemotherapy-induced adverse effects. Methods:RCTs evaluating acupuncture for cancer-related symptoms and treatment-related adverse effects were retrieved from PubMed through December 31,2024.Data extraction and quality assessment were conducted using Excel spreadsheets,and the analysis was based on the CONSORT,STRICTA,and TIDieR-Placebo international reporting guidelines. Results:In total,129 studies were included,of which 126 were indexed in the Science Citation Index,encompassing 10,798 patients.Most studies were conducted in the United States and China and covered various types of cancer,including breast,colorectal,and head and neck cancer.The most commonly stud-ied symptoms were pain,chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy,and vomiting.Although most studies provided sufficient background information and clearly stated their research objectives and hy-potheses,notable reporting deficiencies were observed in the randomization process,blinding implemen-tation,sample size calculation,adverse events,acupuncture intervention details(e.g.,needle depth and deqi response),adherence to placebo acupuncture,and environmental conditions. Conclusion:This study underscores deficiencies in the reporting quality of RCTs evaluating acupuncture for managing cancer-related symptoms,particularly regarding randomization,blinding,sample size calcu-lations,and intervention details.Future investigations should adhere rigorously to international reporting guidelines,optimize study designs,and promote the standardization of acupuncture therapies to improve the transparency,reliability,and reproducibility of acupuncture RCTs,thereby supporting the evidence-based integration of acupuncture in cancer care.关键词
