Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Integrative Medicine
  • Clinical Research Methodology

Background:

  • Electroacupuncture (EA) is utilized for trigeminal neuralgia (TN) management.
  • Current clinical practices for EA in TN lack standardized guidelines, leading to wide variations.
  • A need exists for expert consensus to guide consistent application of EA for TN.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop expert consensus on the use of electroacupuncture for trigeminal neuralgia.
  • To address the heterogeneity in current EA treatment approaches for TN.
  • To establish a standardized framework for clinical and research parameters in EA for TN.

Main Methods:

  • A modified Delphi process involving a multidisciplinary panel of acupuncture and neurology clinicians.
  • Survey items developed from a systematic review will be rated by experts for relevance and agreement.
  • Consensus determination will follow predefined criteria, adhering to the ACcurate COnsensus Reporting Document (ACCORD) guideline.

Main Results:

  • This section is not applicable as the abstract describes a study protocol.
  • The study protocol outlines the methodology for achieving expert consensus.
  • No results are available as the study is in the protocol phase.

Conclusions:

  • This study protocol outlines a modified Delphi process to achieve expert consensus on electroacupuncture for trigeminal neuralgia.
  • The findings are expected to provide structured expert guidance to improve consistency in clinical practice and research.
  • The established consensus will aim to standardize EA application for TN.
