ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Electroacupuncture (EA) is considered as an effective treatment for urinary retention (UR).METHODS:
Up to April 7, 2023, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of EA for UR were extensively searched in 8 databases, including Pubmed, Cochrane, Embase, Web of Science, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Chinese Journal Full-text Database, Wanfang Data, and VIP Full-text e-Journals Database. The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool and the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) were utilized to evaluate the quality of all included RCTs. Meta-analysis was conducted using Stata 15.0 software.RESULTS:
A total of 23 trials were included, and the meta-analysis results suggested that compared with the control group, EA can effectively treat various types of UR (risk ratio [RR]â =â 1.22, 95CI% 1.14, 1.31) and promote bladder function recovery, with a significant reduce in residual urine volume (weighted mean differences [WMD]â =â -49.60, 95CI% -64.10, -35.11), an increase in maximum bladder capacity (WMDâ =â 47.00, 95CI% 12.76, 81.24), a shorten in the first urination time (standardized mean difference [SMD]â =â -1.42, 95CI% -2.08, -0.76), and less adverse reactions (RRâ =â 0.21, 95CI% 0.07, 0.65).CONCLUSION:
EA has significant advantages in treating UR, but the efficacy and safety are still needed to be further verified through large-sample and high-quality RCTs.
