We searched seven online databases to collect studies published up to Feb 29<jats:sup>th<\/jats:sup>, 2020. Study quality of each included article was evaluated by the Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias Tool. Systematic reviews and meta\u2010analyses were conducted based on the Cochrane systematic review method by using RevMan 5.3 software. Among the included trials, acupoint catgut embedding alone or plus oral western medicine or plus other acupoint\u2010based therapies, or plus oral traditional Chinese medicine were the main therapies in the experimental groups. Interventions in control groups mainly include oral western medicine alone, other acupoint\u2010based therapies alone, or other acupoint\u2010based therapies alone. Primary outcomes in this study include recovery rate, accumulative marked effective rate, accumulative effective rate, and recurrence rate. Finally, 30 trials involving 1889 participants were included. The results of systematic reviews and meta\u2010analyses show that acupoint catgut embedding alone or plus oral western medicine or plus other acupoint\u2010based therapy or plus oral traditional Chinese medicine was significantly better compared with using oral western medicine alone in terms of efficacy for IBS\u2010C and IBS\u2010D. In addition, acupoint catgut embedding alone or plus oral western medicine or plus other acupoint\u2010based therapy or plus oral traditional Chinese medicine could improve the effective rate and decrease the recurrence rate for IBS\u2010D compared with using oral western medicine, other acupoint\u2010based therapies, or oral traditional Chinese medicine alone. Adverse events of acupoint catgut embedding include local induration, redness, swelling, and itchiness, but they were all mild and disappeared swiftly with ordinary local interventions. There is an urgent need for RCTs of high quality and large sample size and with longer treatment duration and follow\u2010up periods of acupoint catgut embedding for IBS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2020\/5812320","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,28]],"date-time":"2020-11-28T19:05:09Z","timestamp":1606590309000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Efficacy and Safety of Acupoint Catgut Embedding for Diarrhea\u2010Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Constipation\u2010Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta\u2010Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2020","author":[{"given":"Jing","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2383-9146","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qinwei","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1475-4009","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shasha","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hui","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yaofeng","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.gastro.2005.11.061"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ajg.2008.122"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nrgastro.2010.216"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3748\/wjg.v20.i22.6759"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3748\/wjg.14.2625"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3748\/wjg.v20.i20.6031"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0127815"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_8_2","article-title":"Psychological treatments for the management of irritable bowel syndrome","volume":"1","author":"Zijdenbos I.
