Given its safety, effectiveness, and absence of side effects, acupoint therapy is being increasingly utilized in the pain management of orthopedic patients. This study conducted a network meta-analysis to compare analgesic efficacy, safety, and effectiveness of acupuncture (AP), electroacupuncture (EA), moxibustion, and acupressure, so as to provide a reference for the clinical application of acupoint therapies in managing orthopedic pain.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eight databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP, were searched for clinical randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the effects of AP, EA, moxibustion, and acupressure on orthopedic pain. The quality of the included documents was evaluated using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool, and graphs regarding the risk of bias and network meta-analysis were drawn by Revman 5.2, Stata 18.0 and R software (v4.3.2).
