Our primary outcomes included overall clinical effectiveness rate, bone mineral density (BMD), and visual analog scale scores (VAS). The secondary outcome is adverse events. The entire process of literature screening and data analysis was conducted by 2 independent investigators.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 30 studies with 2,342 participants provided data suitable for analysis. We compared six interventions: manual acupuncture, electroacupuncture, acupoint catgut embedding, moxibustion, acupoint application, and warm acupuncture. The results of the network meta-analysis revealed that, when compared to conventional Western medication (CWM), multiple acupuncture therapies had a greater impact on the overall clinical effectiveness rate. Electroacupuncture combined with CWM demonstrated superior clinical effectiveness and lumbar spine BMD improvement. Moxibustion with CWM ranked highest for femoral neck BMD, while warm acupuncture showed optimal effects on Ward\u2019s triangle and trochanter BMD. Acupoint catgut embedding provided the greatest pain reduction. The most prevalent minor adverse effects included hematoma, discomfort, and scorching.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results suggest that several acupuncture-related therapies, either alone or in conjunction with CWM, outperform CWM alone and may be regarded as an alternative or supplementary therapy to PMOP, though higher-quality trials are needed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2025.1483819","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,9]],"date-time":"2025-04-09T12:53:26Z","timestamp":1744203206000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Efficacy of acupuncture-related therapy for postmenopausal osteoporosis: a systematic review and network meta-analysis based on randomized controlled trials"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Bing","family":"Deng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tiantian","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zilan","family":"Deng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yue","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Li","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wankun","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuewen","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hongjin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yunxiang","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guizhen","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"Itc1","DOI":"10.7326\/aitc202401160","article-title":"Osteoporosis","volume":"177","author":"Ensrud","year":"2024","journal-title":"Ann Intern Med"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1276","DOI":"10.1016\/s0140-6736(10)62349-5","article-title":"Osteoporosis: now and the future","volume":"377","author":"Rachner","year":"2011","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"136","DOI":"10.1007\/s11657-013-0136-1","article-title":"Osteoporosis in the European Union: medical management, epidemiology and economic burden.
