The difference in efficacy among these therapies has not been assessed. To compare the efficacy of different acupuncture therapies for SCI, we searched databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, and WanFang) for relevant RCTs in both English and Chinese before June 2019 that reported the association between acupuncture therapies and SCI. The RCTs were categorized according to the location of the acupoints used in them. The neural function was assessed by American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) motor score, and daily living ability was accessed by Modified Barthel Index (MBI) after SCI. In total, 22 trials involving 1644 participants were included. The pairwise meta-analysis and random effects model network meta-analysis were conducted. The results indicated that exercise combined with electro-acupuncture (EA) is superior to exercise without acupuncture in improving the ASIA motor score. EA was associated with a significantly higher improvement in the MBI score than exercise alone, except for EA of head\u2009+\u2009limbs and limbs. Additionally, EA on the head\u2009+\u2009back and back\u2009+\u2009front (chest and abdomen) rank the top in both increasing the ASIA motor score and the MBI score. Acupuncture can significantly increase motor function and daily living ability of individuals who suffer from SCI, especially acupuncture of the back\u2009+\u2009front or the head\u2009+\u2009back. The evidence supports acupuncture of the back\u2009+\u2009front or the head\u2009+\u2009back as an effective treatment for SCI.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2019\/2371084","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,27]],"date-time":"2019-10-27T19:30:25Z","timestamp":1572204625000},"page":"1-12","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["The
