A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. J Integr Complement Med. 2025 May;31(5):431-444. https://doi.org/10.1089/jicm.2023.0781 | ||
| + | ^Backgound| Radiation-induced xerostomia (RIX) stands out as one of the most severe side effects among patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). Given the varied conclusions in previous studies concerning the association between acupuncture, sham acupuncture, or acupuncture combined with standard oral care and therapeutic effects, our aim is to conduct a systematic review to assess the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture in managing RIX in patients with HNC. | | ||
| + | ^Methods| Six databases (Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chongqing VIP, and WanFang Database) were electronically searched, following the Cochrane manual and adhering to reported Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, from their inception dates to July 1, 2024. Primary randomized clinical trials included in systematic reviews or meta-analyses were identified, with the Xerostomia Questionnaire and Xerostomia Inventory designated as the primary outcomes. Salivary flow rates (unstimulated or stimulated) were defined as secondary outcomes. | | ||
| + | ^Results|**Eight clinical trials involving 1273 participants** were analyzed, with six studies included in the meta-analysis. The results indicate that acupuncture demonstrated a significant improvement in patient-reported xerostomia scores (standardized mean difference [SMD] = -0.20, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] [-0.38, -0.02], I2 = 0%) in comparison to standard care, but did not significantly improve oral dryness symptoms compared with sham acupuncture (SMD = -0.06, 95% CI [-0.29, 0.16], I2 = 25.8%). The merged total showed negative result (SMD = -0.13, 95% CI [-0.27, 0.01], I2 = 8.2%). Additionally, there was no significant difference in stimulated salivary flow rate (SMD = -0.22, 95% CI [-0.58, 0.13], I2 = 0%) and unstimulated salivary flow rate (SMD = -0.19, 95% CI [-0.11, 0.72], I2 = 67.2%). In general, the acupuncture did not cause serious adverse effects.| | ||
| + | ^ Conclusion| As far as current research is concerned, acupuncture treatment for RIX symptoms in patients with HNC still lacks strong and convincing evidence support. The more scientific research methods and more clinical trials are still needed.| | ||

A systematic review of salivary gland hypofunction and/or xerostomia induced by non-surgical cancer therapies: prevention strategies. Support Care Cancer. 2025 Jan 10;33(2):87. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00520-024-09113-x | ||
| + | ^Purpose| This systematic review aimed to assess the updated literature for the prevention of salivary gland hypofunction and xerostomia induced by non-surgical cancer therapies.| | ||
| + | ^Methods| Electronic databases of MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCT) that investigated interventions to prevent salivary gland hypofunction and/or xerostomia. Literature search began from the 2010 systematic review publications from the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer/International Society of Oral Oncology (MASCC/ISOO) up to February 2024. Two independent reviewers extracted information regarding study design, study population, cancer treatment modality, interventions, outcome measures, methods, results, risk of bias (RoB version 2), and conclusions for each article.| | ||
| + | ^Results| A total of 51 publications addressing preventive interventions were included. Eight RCTs on tissue-sparing radiation modalities were included showing significant lower prevalence of xerostomia, with unclear effect on salivary gland hypofunction. Three RCTs on preventive **acupuncture** showed reduced prevalence of xerostomia but not of salivary gland hypofunction. Two RCTs on muscarinic agonist stimulation with bethanechol suggested a preventive effect on saliva flow rate and xerostomia in patients undergoing head and neck radiation or radioactive iodine therapy. Two studies on submandibular gland transfer showed higher salivary flow rates compared to pilocarpine and lower prevalence of xerostomia compared to no active intervention. There is insufficient evidence on the effectiveness of vitamin E, amifostine, photobiomodulation, and miscellaneous preventive interventions.| | ||
| + | ^Conclusion| This systematic review continues to support the potential of tissue-sparing tecniques and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to preserve salivary gland function in patients with head and neck cancer, with limited evidence on other preventive strategies, including **acupuncture** and bethanecol. Preventive focus should be on optimized and new approaches developed to further reduce radiation dose to the parotid, the submandibular, and minor salivary glands. As these glands are major contributors to moistening of the oral cavity, limiting the radiation dose to the salivary glands through various modalities has demonstrated reduction in prevalence and severity of salivary gland hypofunction and xerostomia. There remains no evidence on preventive approaches for checkpoint inhibitors and other biologicals due to the lack of RCTs.| | ||

| + | ^Backgound| Xerostomia, or dry mouth, frequently affects head and neck cancer patients receiving radiotherapy, leading to discomfort and impacting daily functions such as speaking and swallowing. Conventional treatments may offer limited relief and are often accompanied by undesirable side effects. Acupuncture, as a non-pharmacological intervention, is increasingly explored for its potential to mitigate xerostomia symptoms. | | ||
| + | ^Objective| This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to assess the effectiveness of acupuncture in improving symptoms and quality of life in patients experiencing radiation-induced xerostomia. | | ||
| + | ^Methods| A thorough literature search was conducted across several databases, including MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central, and Web of Science, up to the current year. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated acupuncture's impact on salivary flow and symptom relief in adults with radiation-induced xerostomia. Primary outcomes were changes in salivary flow, with secondary outcomes including patient-reported symptom severity and quality of life metrics. The risk of bias was evaluated, and data were synthesized using a random-effects model. | | ||
| + | ^Results| A total of **11 RCTs involving 1271 participants** were included in the analysis. The pooled data showed a moderate increase in salivary flow in the acupuncture group, effective in both resting and stimulated conditions. Additionally, acupuncture demonstrated significant benefits in reducing xerostomia symptoms and improving quality of life scores compared to control interventions. Subgroup analysis revealed that traditional acupuncture was more effective than Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). | | ||
| + | ^Conclusions| The findings suggest that acupuncture may be an effective complementary treatment for radiation-induced xerostomia, offering relief from dry mouth symptoms and potentially improving quality of life. Further research should focus on standardizing acupuncture protocols to confirm these benefits across diverse patient populations.| | ||

| + | |||
| + | ^Objectives|Radiation-induced dry mouth negatively impacts patients' oral health and quality of life. Currently, evidence-based recommendation for non-pharmacologic interventions is still lacking. This study aimed to systematically review clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of non-pharmacologic interventions in cancer patients with radiation-induced dry mouth.| | ||
| + | ^Methods|Randomized controlled trials from 2000 were searched from 4 databases, including MEDLINE, Cochrane, Embase via OVID, and SCOPUS, up to December 16th, 2022 (PROSPERO registration CRD42022378405). The risk of bias was assessed using the revised Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool.| | ||
| + | ^Results|Twenty-one studies were included: 11 on artificial saliva, 4 on electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), **2 on acupuncture**, and one study each on low-level laser therapy, stem cells, chewing gum, and probiotics. Overall bias was low, medium, and high in 33%, 48%, and 19% of the studies, respectively. Certain artificial saliva products and TENS were shown to improve dry mouth symptoms and salivary flow rate (SFR). One study showed that stem cell transplantation significantly increased SFR.| | ||
| + | ^Conclusions|The evidence suggested that certain artificial saliva products and TENS are promising management. However, the evidence was still limited due to heterogeneity of interventions and outcome measurements. Thus, future studies using standard measurements and long-term follow-up are warranted.| | ||

Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol. 2022 Apr;279(4):2083-2097. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00405-021-07002-1 | ||
| + | ^Purpose| In head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), the potential mitigating effect of complementary medicine interventions such as acupuncture for radiation-induced toxicity is unknown. This study aimed to assess the impact of acupuncture on the incidence and degree of severity of common radiation-induced side effects.| | ||
| + | ^Methods|In accordance with pre-specified PICO criteria, a systematic review was performed. Two electronic databases (Medline and Embase) were searched over a 10-year time frame (01/01/10 to 30/09/20). Patients undergoing a curatively intended, radiation-based treatment for histologically confirmed squamous cell carcinoma of the nasopharynx, oropharynx, larynx, hypopharynx and oral cavity represented the target population of our study. Accurate information on the acupuncture methodology was reported. All included articles were evaluated to identify any potential source of bias RESULTS: Five papers were included in our qualitative analysis, for a total of 633 subjects. Compliance to per-protocol defined schedule of acupuncture sessions was high, ranging from 82 to 95.9%. Most patients (70.6%) were randomly allocated to receive acupuncture for its potential preventive effect on xerostomia. The large heterogeneity in study settings and clinical outcomes prevented from performing a cumulative quantitative analysis, thus no definitive recommendations can be provided.| | ||
| + | ^Conclusions| Although shown to be feasible and safe, no firm evidence currently supports the use of acupuncture for the routine management of radiation-induced toxicity in HNSCC.| | ||

| + | ^Background|Radiation-induced xerostomia is one of the most common symptoms experienced by cancer patients. The aim of our study is to evaluate the preventive and therapeutic effect of acupuncture for radiation-induced xerostomia in cancer patients. | | ||
| + | ^Methods|Eight databases were searched for all published randomized clinical trials (RCTs) on acupuncture for radiation-induced xerostomia in cancer patients up to December 31, 2019. Manual searching included other conference abstracts and reference lists. Meta-analysis was conducted using Revman V.5.3, and risks of bias for included studies was assessed following the Cochrane Handbook. | | ||
| + | ^Results| Eight clinical trials (725 participants) were analyzed, and 3 were included in a meta-analysis. All included trials had a high risk of bias, such as selection, performance, and detection bias. Analysis indicated favorable effects of acupuncture regarding the improvement of xerostomia symptoms (MD -3.05, P = 0.02, 95% CI -5.58 to -0.52), compared with sham acupuncture. There were no significant differences between real acupuncture and sham acupuncture regarding the stimulated salivary flow rate (MD 0.37, P = 0.08, 95% CI -0.05 to 0.79) and unstimulated salivary flow rate (MD 0.09, P = 0.12, 95% CI -0.02 to 0.21), which were whole salivary flow rate. Compared with no acupuncture (standard oral care, usual care, or no treatment), acupuncture produced a significant improvement in patient-reported xerostomia, without causing serious adverse effects. However, a Grading of Recommended Assessments analysis revealed that the quality of all acupuncture outcome measures was low. | | ||
| + | ^Conclusions| The present meta-analysis and systematic review suggests that **acupuncture is effective at improving xerostomia symptoms in cancer patients but not at objective salivary flow measurements**. The evidence is still limited due to the low quality of the published studies. | | ||

| + | ^Background/aim| With a rapidly growing number of studies, systematic reviews (SRs) and meta-analyses (MAs) on acupuncture, the level of evidence seems to be high. Yet, traditional Chinese acupuncture is built on concepts which are not in accordance with science-based medicine. Accordingly, our aim was to critically assess the evidence presented in SRs and MAs on xerostomia induced by treatment of head and neck cancer with radiotherapy.| | ||
| + | ^Materials and Methods| In February 2022, a systematic search of five electronic databases (Embase, Cochrane, PsychInfo, CINAHL and Medline) was conducted to find SRs/MAs on acupuncture use against cancer-treatment induced xerostomia. We evaluated all SRs/MAs using the AMSTAR instrument, comparing the assessment of the individual studies included and the conclusions drawn by the authors. In case of heterogeneity between the SRs, we evaluated the controversial items of the assessments directly from the studies.| | ||
| + | ^Results|Finally, **eight SRs/Mas** were included. Most of them show methodological drawbacks in several domains of the AMSTAR instrument, which influences the credibility of the results.| | ||
| + | ^Conclusion|The evidence on the use of acupuncture as treatment for radiotherapy-induced xerostomia is low. Present SRs/MAs mainly summarize results of a few and mostly small studies. Even though the included studies greatly overlap, the quality of the presentation and interpretation of the authors differs greatly. Therefore, a high quality and conclusive summary of the present evidence on the use of acupuncture to treat radiotherapy induced xerostomia is still missing.| | ||
