Effects of different acupuncture methods on polycystic ovarian syndrome: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

No single acupuncture method is the optimal method for all indicators in PCOS patients. Clinically, clinicians may select acupuncture treatment based on patients' primary clinical concerns, acknowledging the limitations of current evidence and individualizing treatment decisions. These findings remain to be further verified by rigorously designed studies due to limitations of existing clinical studies and evidence.

Abstract

No single acupuncture method is the optimal method for all indicators in PCOS patients. Clinically, clinicians may select acupuncture treatment based on patients' primary clinical concerns, acknowledging the limitations of current evidence and individualizing treatment decisions. These findings remain to be further verified by rigorously designed studies due to limitations of existing clinical studies and evidence.
