Efficacy of various forms of acupuncture for the treatment of urinary incontinence in women: A systematic review and meta-analysis

“…The effectiveness of different acupuncture methods, including hand [13,14], laser [15,16], body [17,18], and electroacupuncture [19] , [20,21], for the treatment of mixed, urge, and SUI in women has been evaluated in several RCTs. However, limited empirical evidence exists regarding the effectiveness of alternative acupuncture methods, such as Saam [22], auricular [23,24] fire needle [25], scalp [26,27], and elongated needle [28] acupuncture, for the treatment of UI in women. Physiological studies have provided a credible basis for the effects of acupuncture to treat UI.…”
