Review question / Objective: We aim to compare the efficacy and safety of different acupuncture and related therapies for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) using systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA). Condition being studied: CTS is a symptomatic condition caused by compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel. Patients with CTS typically report paresthesia or pain in distribution of median nerve distal to the wrist. Diverse non-surgical treatments and surgical decompression have been used in the management of CTS. Acupuncture, a prominent component of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), has also been practiced when treating CTS as a complementary therapy. However, the relative treatment effects of different acupuncture methods for CTS are unclear. |
