Two investigators conducted the literature search, quality assessment, and data extraction. The data were then analyzed using the Cochrane Collaboration Review Manager (RevMan\u00ae, version 5.3). The study endpoints were response rate, the National Institute of Health\u2010Chronic Prostatitis Index (NIH\u2010CPSI), and the International Prostate symptom score (IPSS) reduction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Three and four randomized controlled trials compared acupuncture with sham acupuncture (n\u2009=\u2009101 vs. 103) and medical treatment (n\u2009=\u2009156 vs. 138), respectively. The results revealed that acupuncture was superior to sham acupuncture as regards response rate (OR: 5.15, 95%CI: 2.72\u20139.75; <jats:italic>P\u2009<\/jats:italic>&lt;\u20090.01), NIH\u2010CPSI (WMD: \u22126.09, 95%CI: \u22127.85 to \u22124.33), and IPSS (WMD: \u22122.44, 95%CI: \u22124.86 to \u22120.03; <jats:italic>P\u2009<\/jats:italic>=\u20090.05) reductions, therefore, excluding the placebo effect. Compared to standard medical treatments, acupuncture had a significantly higher response rate (OR: 3.57, 95%CI: 1.78\u20137.15; <jats:italic>P\u2009<\/jats:italic>&lt;\u20090.01).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Acupuncture has promising efficacy for patients with CP\/CPPS.
