Acupoint stimulation methods for premature ovarian insufficiency: a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials by Zhenping Du, Guancheng Ye, Jingyuan Wei, Shutong Li, Shan Zhao, Jun Wang

“…A methodological assessment of 51 RCTs revealed generalized risks: 9.8% of RCTs used incorrect randomization methods; 29% of RCTs did not describe explicit randomization; all RCTs did not have explicit allocation concealment; 98% of RCTs did not mention blinding; all RCTs reported complete outcome data; and 98% of RCTs had unclear risks. Therapies combining multiple AS therapies (especially moxibustion-related therapies) improved ovarian function significantly. …”
