 +Wang Z, Chen Y, Li X, Lin L, Chen B, Chen M, Zheng H. Placebo response variability on health-related quality of life outcomes in irritable bowel syndrome: an arm-based network meta-analysis. Qual Life Res. 2025 Jun;​34(6):​1553-1568. ​ https://​doi.org/​10.1007/​s11136-025-03927-
 +^Objectives| The impact of placebo response on health outcomes in various diseases, including IBS, is significant. To better understand the effect of different placebo administration methods on the observed outcomes in IBS studies, this meta-analysis aims to explore research findings on the degree of improvement.|
 +^Methods| The meta-analysis included 45 randomized, double-blind,​ placebo-controlled clinical trials involving 5174 patients with confirmed IBS (excluding those with significant comorbidities). The trials were designed to compare the efficacy of different placebo interventions. The primary outcome was the Irritable Bowel Syndrome Severity Scoring System (IBS-SSS), and secondary outcomes included the Irritable Bowel Syndrome Quality of Life Instrument (IBS-QoL) and the IBS Symptom Visual Analog Scale (VAS). An arm-based Bayesian network meta-analysis was performed to examine the relative effectiveness of the placebo interventions on the outcomes.|
 +^Results| The analysis revealed that sham moxibustion exhibited the most significant efficacy in reducing IBS-SSS (MD -260.00, 95% CrIs: -288.00 to -232.00). Additionally,​ sham FMT resulted in significant improvements in IBS-QOL scores (MD 9.23, 95% CrIs - 3.69 to 22.30). Meanwhile, placebo tablet interventions were found to be the most effective in reducing VAS scores (MD 4.71, 95% CrIs, -1.14 to 11.10). Overall, this synthesis provides detailed insights into the effectiveness of placebos in addressing different outcome measures.|
 +^Conclusions| Sham moxibustion appears to provide subjective benefits for patients'​ IBS symptoms. However, the evidence for its efficacy is less robust compared to other interventions,​ as assessed by GRADE. Understanding the placebo effect in IBS management is crucial for clinical practice and drug development,​ particularly in placebo comparisons.|

 +
 +^ Purpose| The clinical efficacy of acupoint application in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) was evaluated by Meta-analysis.|
 +^Method| Computer searched Chinese and English databases for the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-randomized controlled trials (CCTs) of TCM external therapy, acupoint application,​ TCM external application,​ navel sticking and their combination therapy in the treatment of IBS. The search period is from the establishment of the database to December 2022. The literature was screened independently by 2 researchers according to the standard of nano-ranking,​ and the data of the other 5 researchers were proofread, screened and extracted. After that, the bias risk of the included study was evaluated, and the data were analysed by RevMan 5.4. software.|
 +^Result| (1) A total of 1842 patients, were included in **25 randomized controlled trials**, including the acupoint application treatment group (n=928) and conventional therapy control group (n = 914).(2) The quality of the literature method shows that there are 5 high-quality literatures with a score of 4-7, 20 low-quality literatures with a score of 1-3 and few high-quality literatures;​(3) In terms of effectiveness,​ compared with the western medicine control group, the total odds ratio OR [95 % CI] of the total effective rate of the acupoint application treatment group was 4.77 [3.68, 6.20], and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Shenque, Zhongwan, Pishu and Zusanli are the most commonly used.(4) In terms of literature bias, 2 studies used envelopes to hide, which belonged to "low risk"; 9 studies were blindly implemented and evaluated as "​unclear";​ and 6 studies were rated as "high risk" because cases fell off but were not reported. The funnel plot shows that the study is scatter symmetrical,​ the probability of publication bias is small, and the conclusion is reliable.|
 +^Conclusion| Acupoint application can improve the effective clinical rate of IBS with fewer adverse reactions, better patient compliance and fewer adverse reactions, but it still needs to be confirmed by high-quality multicenter,​ large sample randomized controlled trials.|

The effect of acupuncture on quality of life in patients with irritable bowel syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analysis. PLoS One. 2025 Feb 13;​20(2):​e0314678. ​ https://​doi.org/​10.1371/​journal.pone.0314678
 +^Backgound| Acupuncture has been used to improve the quality of life (QoL) of patients in clinical settings. However, the effect of acupuncture on QoL in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) remains unclear. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the effect of acupuncture on the QoL of patients with IBS.|
 +^Method| PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Embase, and Web of Science were screened from inception to September 2023. RCTs published in English comparing acupuncture with sham acupuncture,​ usual care, pharmacological interventions,​ or other therapies were analyzed for QoL in patients with IBS. The primary outcome was QoL and secondary outcomes were the IBS-symptom severity scale (IBS-SSS) and abdominal pain. The Cochrane Collaboration recommendations were used to assess the risk of bias.|
 +^Findings| **Fourteen articles with 2,038 participants** were included. The pooled result showed acupuncture can significantly improve the QoL of patients with IBS compared to the conventional treatment (MD = 6.62, 95% CI, 2.30 to 10.94, P<0.001, I2 = 72.45%). Additionally,​ acupuncture was superior to other interventions in relieving the symptoms'​ severity of IBS (MD = -46.58, 95% CI, -91.49 to -1.68, P<0.001, I2 = 90.76%). Nevertheless,​ acupuncture was not associated with abdominal pain reduction (MD = -0.35, 95% CI, -0.91 to 0.20, P = 0.21, I2 = 0.00%). Lower adverse events were observed in the acupuncture group. Thus, the quality of this study was relatively high.|
 +^Conclusion| The meta-analysis showed that acupuncture improves QoL and symptom severity in patients with IBS and that the optimal parameters for acupuncture to improve QoL in patients with IBS are 30 minutes of acupuncture per session, less than or equal to five sessions per week, and a 4-week course of treatment. However, more high-quality clinical trials are needed to provide stronger evidence.|

 +
 +^Backgound| Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) has been effectively treated with acupuncture,​ but the significance of quality of life, depression, and anxiety in the assessment of IBS patients has received little consideration. This study examined the impact of acupuncture on depression, anxiety, and quality of life in IBS patients.|
 +^Method| PubMed, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), EMBASE, China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP), Chinese Biological Medical (CBM, SinoMed) Database, and the Wan Fang Database were among the electronic databases from which relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were systematically retrieved between their inception and July 2023. The outcomes included adverse events, total response rate, anxiety, and symptoms of depression, as well as quality of life. In this study, the heterogeneity,​ publication bias, standardized mean difference (SMD), and risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated.|
 +^Results| In this study, **29 RCTs including 3114 participants** for analysis (treatment group, 1730; control group, 1384) were included. Compared to other therapies, acupuncture significantly improved the quality of life (SMD = 0.61, 95% CI = [0.26, 0.96], P < 0.001) and alleviated anxiety (SMD = - 0.72, 95% CI = [- 1.76, 0.32], P = 0.18) and depression (SMD = - 0.74, 95% CI = [- 1.18, - 0.3], P < 0.001) in IBS patients. A statistically significant improvement was recorded in their quality of life, and they also displayed fewer symptoms of depression. The total response rate (RR = 1.18, 95% CI = [1.12, 1.25], P < 0.001) indicated that acupuncture significantly affected IBS treatment in comparison to other methods. Subgroup analysis of primary outcome indicators revealed that acupuncture demonstrated better results regardless of the duration of intervention and was more effective than Western medicine or sham acupuncture. In addition to the total response rate (I2 = 0%), the other three outcome indicators showed significant heterogeneity (I2 > 50%). No publication bias was noted in RR (P < 0.05); however, a significant publication bias was observed in quality of life (P > 0.05).|
 +^Conclusion| Acupuncture can enhance the quality of life and relieve anxiety and depression in patients with IBS with apparent safety; however, a large number of high-quality RCTs are still needed.|

 +^Backgound| Currently, a variety of Western medical interventions are available for the treatment of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) with comorbid anxiety and depression. However, the attendant negative effects also emerge, putting pressure on healthcare resources and socio-economic structures. In recent years, the benefits of acupuncture (ACU) and moxibustion in the treatment of IBS-D with anxiety and depression have gradually emerged. However, there are many types of ACU-moxibustion-related treatments, and the aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of different ACU-moxibustion therapies in the treatment of anxiety and depression in IBS-D patients.|
 +^Methods| Searched and identified randomized controlled trials (RCTS) of ACU for the treatment of anxiety and depression in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The search spanned from the establishment of the database until September 1, 2023. Revman 5.4 and Stata 15.0 software were used for network meta-analysis (NMA), and the included interventions were ranked by the area under the cumulative ranking curve.|
 +^Results| A total of **26 articles** involving 8 interventions were included. In terms of improving HAMA score, MOX was superior to EA, combined therapies, CH, WM and placebo; In terms of improving HAMD score, MOX was superior to ACU, EA, combined therapies, WM and placebo; In terms of improving the SAS score, The combined therapies were superior to EA, CH and WM; In terms of improving SDS scores, The combined therapies were superior to EA, CH and WM; In terms of improving IBS-SSS score, The combined therapies were superior to WM; In terms of reducing recurrence rates, CH was superior to combined therapies; In terms of improving total effective rates, MOX was superior to EA, CH, WM and placebo; MOX, combined therapies, ACU and EA ranked higher in SUCRA of different outcome indicators.|
 +^Conclusion| MOX, combined therapies, ACU and EA have certain curative effect on anxiety and depression in patients with IBS-D, and their safety is high. ACU and MOX combined with other therapies also have significant advantages in the treatment effect.|

 +^Backgound| Presently, a diverse range of Western medical interventions are accessible for the management of irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D) concomitant with comorbid anxiety and depression. However, the concomitant adverse effects have also surfaced, exerting strain on healthcare resources and the socio-economic structure. In recent times, the benefits of acupuncture in the management of IBS-D with coexisting anxiety and depression have become progressively evident. Nevertheless,​ a paucity of evidence-based medicine exists to substantiate the utilization of acupuncture for the treatment of IBS-D with anxiety and depression. The objective of this study is to examine the effectiveness of acupuncture as an intervention for IBS-D with comorbid anxiety and depression.|
 +^Methods| We searched 7 databases, including the Chinese Journal Full-text Database, Wanfang Academic Journals Full-text Database, VIP Chinese Scientific Journals Full-text Database, China Biomedical Literature Database, PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library, for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) related to acupuncture treatment for IBS with anxiety and depression, published from database inception to August 1, 2023. RevMan 5.4 and Stata 17.0 software were used for meta-analysis of relevant outcome measures.|
 +^Results| This study included a total of **16 RCTs, involving 1305 IBS-D patients** (691 in the experimental group and 614 in the control group). The meta-analysis results showed that compared to oral medication, acupuncture therapy improved HAMD scores (MD = 0.88, 95% CI = [0.68, 1.07], P < .00001), HAMA scores (MD = 2.32, 95% CI = [1.70, 2.93], P < .00001), self-rating anxiety scale scores (MD = 11.67, 95% CI = [10.85, 12.49], P < .00001), SDS scores (MD = 9.84, 95% CI = [8.52, 11.16], P < .00001), IBS-SSS scores (MD = 37.48, 95% CI = [12.17, 62.78], P = .004), overall response rate (MD = 1.27, 95% CI = [1.20, 1.35], P < .00001), and relapse rate (MD = 0.27, 95% CI = [0.16, 0.47], P < .00001) in patients with IBS-D comorbid with anxiety and depression.|
 +^Conclusion| Acupuncture treatment has a definite and beneficial effect on IBS-D patients with comorbid anxiety and depression.|

 +^Objective| A growing number of clinical studies have suggested the value of acupuncture-related therapies for patients with irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D), and the patient'​s mental state plays an important role, but there are many types of acupuncture-related therapies involved. This study aimed to evaluate the mental status, efficacy and safety of the different acupuncture-related therapies for IBS-D patients.|
 +^Methods|We searched seven databases to collect randomized controlled trials of acupuncture-related therapies for IBS-D. After independent literature screening and data extraction, the quality of the final included literature was evaluated. Hamilton anxiety rating scale (HAMA), hamilton depression rating scale (HAMD), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), and self-rating depression scale (SDS) was used as the primary outcome indicator. And the network meta-analysis (NMA) was performed by using Revman 5.4, Stata 15.0 and WinBUGS 1.4.3 software, and the surface under the cumulative ranking curve was conducted to rank the included interventions.|
 +^Results|We analyzed **24 eligible studies with 1,885 patients**, involving eight types of acupuncture and related therapies along with comprehensive therapies. The NMA result shows that: for SAS scores, combined therapies were more efficacious than anti-diarrheal or antispasmodic (western medicine, WM) (SMD: -8.92; 95% CI: -15.30, -2.47); for SDS scores, combined therapies were more efficacious than WM (SMD: -8.45; 95% CI: -15.50, -1.41). For HAMA scores, moxibustion (MOX) was more efficacious than placebo (SMD: -8.66; 95% CI: -16.64, -0.38). For HAMD scores, MOX was more efficacious than all other included interventions. For response rate, MOX was more efficacious than the following interventions:​ acupuncture (ACU) (SMD:0.29; 95% CI:​0.08,​0.93),​ Chinese herb medicine (CH) (SMD:0.09; 95% CI:​0.02,​0.36),​ combined therapies (SMD:0.23; 95% CI:0.06, 0.85), electroacupuncture (EA) (SMD:0.06; 95% CI:​0.01,​0.33),​ warm acupuncture (WA) (SMD:22.16; 95% CI:​3.53,​148.10),​ WM (SMD:15.59; 95% CI:​4.68,​61.21),​ and placebo (SMD:9.80; 95% CI:​2.90,​45.51). Combined therapies were more efficacious than the following interventions:​ CH (SMD:0.39; 95% CI:​0.19,​0.80),​ WA (SMD:4.96; 95% CI:​1.30,​21.62),​ and WM (SMD:3.62; 95% CI:​2.35,​5.66). The comprehensive ranking results show that MOX, ACU, combined therapies, and EA had high SUCRA rankings involving different outcome indicators.|
 +^Conclusion|MOX,​ ACU, combined therapies, and EA better alleviate anxiety and depression among IBS-D patients, and with a higher safety level, may be the optimal therapies. In addition, combining acupuncture-related treatments and other therapies also delivers a higher global benefit level.|

 +
 +^Backgound| Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional bowel disease characterized by abdominal pain or discomfort associated with altered bowel habits. Several clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of acupuncture and moxibustion for IBS. Many systematic reviews of acupuncture and moxibustion for IBS have been published in recent years, but their results are not entirely consistent.|
 +^Objective| To evaluate the methodological,​ reporting, and evidence quality of systematic reviews of acupuncture and moxibustion for IBS.|
 +^Methods| Search strategy: Systematic reviews of acupuncture and moxibustion for IBS published before February 20, 2023 were searched in eight databases: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure,​ Wanfang Data, VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals,​ and China Biology Medicine. The keywords used for literature search were acupuncture,​ moxibustion,​ systematic review, meta-analysis,​ and irritable bowel syndrome. Inclusion criteria: Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials of acupuncture and moxibustion for IBS were included. Data extraction and analysis: Relevant information was independently extracted by two investigators. The A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews 2 (AMSTAR 2), Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA 2020), and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) were used to evaluate the methodological quality, reporting quality and evidence quality, respectively.|
 +^Results| A total of 342 studies were retrieved and **15 systematic reviews** were included. The results of AMSTAR 2 showed low methodological quality in 2 studies and very low methodological quality in the remaining 13 studies, with main issues being failure to register a protocol, incomplete search strategy, not providing a list of excluded studies, incomplete consideration of the risk of bias in the included studies, and a failure to assess the publication bias. The results of PRISMA 2020 showed seriously deficient reporting quality of 2 studies, somewhat deficient reporting quality of 12 studies, and relatively complete reporting quality of 1 study, with the main problems being lack of a complete search strategy, non-availability of a list of excluded studies with justification for their exclusion, not conducting heterogeneity and sensitivity analyses, not evaluating the credibility of the evidence, and not registering the protocol. The results of GRADE showed that the quality of the evidence is low or very low.|
 +^Conclusion| Most included systematic reviews interpreted findings to suggest that acupuncture and moxibustion have benefits for IBS. However, there is a need to improve the methodological,​ reporting and evidence quality of the systematic reviews. Larger, multicenter,​ rigorously designed randomized controlled trials and high-quality systematic reviews are required to obtain more robust evidence.|
