Abstract
    [Objective] This study aimed to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture combined with different Mecobalamin Injection methods in treating diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN). [Methods] A computer search of PubMed,Web of Science,EMbase,Cochrane Library,China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),VIP Chinese Sci-Tech Journal Database(VIP),China Biology Medicine disc,and Wanfang Academic Journal Full-text Database was conducted for randomized controlled trials(RCTs) on acupuncture and/or mecobalamin injection for the treatment of DPN. A Bayesian framework was used for network Meta-analysis. [Results] Fifty four RCTs with a total of 4 236 patients were included in this study. Among nine interventions,acupuncture plus acupoint injection of mecobalamin plus usual treatment(AC+AIM+UT) was the most effective in improving overall response rate(93.55%),median sensory nerve conduction velocity(SCV,91.63%),and peroneal SCV(98.72%). In terms of improvement in median motor nerve conduction velocity(MCV) and peroneal MCV,acupoint injection of mecobalamin plus usual treatment(AIM+UT) was the best therapy(81.70% and 79.85%,respectively). The most common adverse events included skin rashes,nausea,vomiting,arrhythmia,and sweating. More adverse events occurred in patients treated by intravenous injection of mecobalamin. [Conclusion] AC+AIM+UT is the preferred therapy for improving overall response rate and sensory nerve conduction velocity,while AIM+UT is the treatment of choice for improving motor nerve conduction velocity.
