This study conducted a comprehensive review of the efficacy of acupuncture in treating De Quervain\u2019s tenosynovitis (DQt). Although there is evidence suggesting that acupuncture can alleviate symptoms of DQt\u2013characterized by pain, swelling, and functional impairment\u2013higher-level evidence is still required to further substantiate its efficacy and safety. This study conducted a comprehensive review of the efficacy of acupuncture in treating De Quervain's tenosynovitis (DQt).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>By systematically searching databases such as PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science, Google Scholar, EMbase, PEDro, China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database (CNKI), Wanfang Database, and Chongqing VIP China Science, Technology Journal Database (VIP), we retrieved randomized controlled trial (RCT) literature on acupuncture for DQt, with the search period extending to November 1, 2023. After extracting and assessing data from the included literature, we performed Meta-analysis using RevMan 5.4.1 software.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The results encompassed 14 RCT papers, involving 851 patients. The Meta-analysis findings indicated that, when compared to topical analgesics, acupuncture demonstrated a significant increase in treatment effectiveness (RR\u2009=\u20091.24; 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.11, 1.39, P\u2009=\u20090.0002) and a notable reduction in VAS pain scores (MD\u2009=\u2009\u22121.06; 95% CI\u2009=\u2009\u22121.51, \u22120.61, P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.00001). However, no statistically significant difference was observed in conney wrist joint scores. Furthermore, acupuncture was found to reduce VAS pain scores compared to the waiting list group. In comparison to corticosteroid injections (CSI), acupuncture did not show statistical significance in VAS, effectiveness rate, and conney wrist scores.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Acupuncture exhibited a promising trend in alleviating pain associated with DQt and enhancing treatment effectiveness.
