Acupuncture and Related Therapies for Treatment of Postoperative Ileus in Colorectal Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
2018 Jul 29 Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine Liu, Y., May, B. H., Zhang, A. L., et al.
The addition of an acupuncture intervention following surgery for colorectal cancer improved outcomes for recovery of gastrointestinal function based on pooled data from four blinded good quality RCTs (281 participants) and 17 nonblinded lower quality RCTs (1,265 participants). The best available evidence was for interventions that included electroacupuncture at ST36 Zusanli (with or without other points). There is also supporting evidence for other types of acupuncture therapies (manual acupuncture, acupressure, warming needling, etc.) that involve stimulation of this point. Further well-designed blinded studies are needed to confirm these findings and determine optimal acupuncture interventions for postoperative ileus.
