All included trials had a high risk of bias, such as selection, performance, and detection bias. Analysis indicated favorable effects of acupuncture regarding the improvement of xerostomia symptoms (MD \u22123.05, P\u2009=\u20090.02, 95% CI \u22125.58 to \u22120.52), compared with sham acupuncture. There were no significant differences between real acupuncture and sham acupuncture regarding the stimulated salivary flow rate (MD 0.37, P\u2009=\u20090.08, 95% CI \u22120.05 to 0.79) and unstimulated salivary flow rate (MD 0.09, P\u2009=\u20090.12, 95% CI \u22120.02 to 0.21), which were whole salivary flow rate. Compared with no acupuncture (standard oral care, usual care, or no treatment), acupuncture produced a significant improvement in patient-reported xerostomia, without causing serious adverse effects. However, a Grading of Recommended Assessments analysis revealed that the quality of all acupuncture outcome measures was low.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The present meta-analysis and systematic review suggests that acupuncture is effective at improving xerostomia symptoms in cancer patients but not at objective salivary flow measurements.
