| Abstract | The study systematically reviews currently available studies which investigate the treatment effect of acupuncture in treating dysphagia. The review also gives a general picture of the characteristics of currently available studies conducted, so as to suggest directions for future clinical studies of this alternative treatment method for treating dysphagia. Sixty published research papers in Simplified Chinese were collected. Eighteen of the collected papers were analyzed. The result of meta-analysis showed positive treatment effect of acupuncture to dysphagia. Future research projects should focus on 1) Non-Chinese population 2) Patients with dysphagia originated from causes other than neurological damage, for example, degenerative diseases 3) Using instrumental swallowing assessment as parameter of outcome measure. Potential bias and limitations of the meta-analysis were discussed. |
