摘要
Peripheral facial paralysis sequela (PFPS) is a group of sequence syndrome after the acute onset of peripheral facial paralysis. Nearly 70% of patients with peripheral facial paralysis recover completely, but nearly 30% of patients leave multiple sequelae, which have serious negative impacts on the physical and psychological health of patients. Without a high risk of side effect, acupoint catgut embedding (ACE), a common acupuncture therapy, is widely used to treat this disorder. And a number of studies have shown the efficacy of this therapy for PFPS. But in fact, the evidence of the overall effect of ACE in the treatment of PFPS is still insufficient. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency and safety of ACE for PFPS.Two reviewers will collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on ACE for PFPS by searching the following databases, including The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, China Biomedical Literature (CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Scientific Journals Database (VIP), and Wanfang database, from their initiation to May 2021. The searching of publications will include English and Chinese without any restriction of countries and regions. Besides, 2 reviewers will independently include in studies that meet the inclusion criteria and extract data we need, then use Cochrane Collaboration's Risk of Bias Tool to assess their methodological quality. The efficacy and safety of ACE as a treatment for PFPS will be assessed according to the synthetic risk ratio (RR), odds ratio (OR), or weighted mean difference (WMD), standardized mean difference (SMD) with consistent 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). And the Review Manager 5.3 software will be adopted to conduct the statistical analysis.The protocol for meta-analysis will systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of ACE for PFPS. And the final result of this search will provide sufficient evidence and an authentic assessment focusing on the problem.This search will explore whether ACE could be used as an effective and non-drug external therapy of TCM for PFPS and offer supports for clinical practice.CRD42021240004.
