“…This forms a problem when clinically described according to Western medicine diagnostics [60,78], as well as when clinically described according to Eastern medicine diagnostics [37]. In the acupuncture research literature, this methodological problem is referred to as "The Fruit-Basket Problem" [79]. It states that although the patients have the same Western diagnosis "schizophrenia" according to Western medicine, they have different Eastern medicine diagnostic patterns [79] at the same time.…”

“…From an Eastern medicine point of view, some patterns are more severe than others; therefore, that acupuncture treatment results differ between patients should not be a surprise [79]. Although fully tackling this methodological problem in clinical acupuncture research on patients with schizophrenia and co-morbid sleep disorders is difficult, a recommendation is that at least, the different Eastern medicine diagnostic patterns be mentioned along with the Western medicine diagnosis/diagnoses.…”

Background: Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disorder that has a large impact on patients’ lives. In addition to Western medicine, the use of additional treatments, such as acupuncture, in treating the positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms is increasing. Methods: We conducted a systematic review on the use of acupuncture as an add-on treatment for patients with schizophrenia that are in regular care, with a special focus on the treatment of the often accompanying co-morbid sleep disorders. In this study, we searched the Medline, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and ERIC databases with a cut-off date of December 31, 2017, thereby following the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) protocol. Results: Our search resulted in 26 eligible studies. Most studies showed limited evidence for the use of acupuncture as add-on therapy in the treatment of clinical symptoms, but beneficial effects have been reported in the treatment of co-morbid sleep disorders. Conclusions: Limited evidence was found for the use of acupuncture as add-on therapy in the treatment of patients with schizophrenia; however, positive results were found in the treatment of sleep disorders, but this result needs to be confirmed in large, randomized, controlled trials.

“…Dies ist für die westliche medizinische Diagnostik ein Problem, aber besonders auch für die östliche [23]. Dieses methodologische Problem ist in der Akupunkturforschungsliteratur bekannt als das "Obstkorbproblem" [24]. Es beschreibt die Problematik, dass obwohl die Patienten nach westlicher Medizin alle mit "Depression" diagnostiziert werden, sie nach östlicher Medizin ganz verschiedene diagnostische Muster zeigen [24].…”

Es beschreibt die Problematik, dass obwohl die Patienten nach westlicher Medizin alle mit "Depression" diagnostiziert werden, sie nach östlicher Medizin ganz verschiedene diagnostische Muster zeigen [24]. Deswegen ist es auch keine große Überraschung, dass die Akupunkturergebnisse in einer Patientengruppe mit Depressionen so unterschiedlich sind.…”

Results: Our search resulted in 26 eligible studies with 1181 patients with schizophrenia who received acupuncture treatment. Most studies showed limited evidence for the use of acupuncture as add-on therapy in the treatment of the positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms, but beneficial effects have been reported in the treatment of the accompanying sleep disorders. Conclusions: Limited evidence was found for the use of acupuncture as add-on therapy in the treatment of patients with schizophrenia; however, positive results were found in the treatment of sleep disorders, but this result needs to be confirmed in large, randomized, controlled trials.
