Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
  • Complementary and Alternative Medicine
  • Evidence-Based Medicine

Background:

  • Biliary colic (BC), a common symptom in gallstone patients, causes severe pain, nausea, and vomiting.
  • Acupuncture is a potential therapeutic option for managing BC symptoms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and meta-analyze the benefits and safety of acupuncture for patients experiencing biliary colic.
  • To assess acupuncture's efficacy in providing pain relief for individuals with BC.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search will be conducted across nine databases (e.g., CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, CNKI) from inception to December 2020.
  • Randomized controlled trials involving adult patients with BC, published in English or Chinese, will be included.
  • Study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment will be performed by two to three reviewers using RevMan software.

Main Results:

  • The primary outcome measure will be pain relief in patients with biliary colic.
  • Data synthesis will be conducted using RevMan software (V.5.4).
  • The review will evaluate the overall benefits and safety profile of acupuncture for BC.

Conclusions:

  • This systematic review and meta-analysis will provide evidence-based insights into acupuncture's role in managing biliary colic.
  • Findings will inform clinical practice and patient care for gallstone-related biliary colic.
  • Results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.
