초록

Backgraounds : Recent studies provide the evidences that the efficacy of acupuncture may be no better than placebo or inconclusive. These results are very different from those of the actual clinical situations in many acupuncture medical institutions.
Objectives : The present study was designed to evaluate the influencing factors which affect the efficacy of acupuncture scale(FEAS) as the methodological assessment tool of acupuncture for examining acupuncture interventions and to demonstrate the importance of it in randomized controlled trials of acupuncture.
Data sources : Electronic data were retrieved from NDSL, Pubmed, sciencedirect, LWW, OVID, Black- Well Synergy, Wiley Interscience, EBSCO HOST, springer, PML, and Kluwer. No electronic data were collected from MEDLIS and MEDLAS.
Study selection : The inclusion criteria were five systematic reviews included in Alberta study and all randomized controlled trials obtained from their references.
Study analysis : The acupuncture rationale, methods of stimulation, treatment regimen, and the prac- titioner’s background were rated by FEAS, and the scores were compared with those by other methodo- logical assessment tools.
Results : The number of positive conclusions of high-rank RCTs by FEAS was the same as or higher than that of high-rank RCTs by other methodological assessment tools.
Conclusions : We have analysed 5 systematic reviews and their objectives 58 RCTs using FEAS. Prac- titioner’s background has been described slightly in some reviews and studies. It may directly influence the effectiveness of acupuncture negatively in the systematic reviews.
