Current options include pharmacotherapy, acupoint stimulation (AcuStim), and psychotherapy (psych), but their comparative efficacy and safety remain controversial.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This network meta-analysis (NMA) systematically compared pharmacotherapy, AcuStim, and psychotherapy for perimenopausal anxiety, depression, and panic disorder, assessing clinical efficacy, adverse events (AEs), and changes in the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA), Kupperman Index (KI), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and serum hormone levels.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and SinoMed from inception to June 14, 2026, for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). A Bayesian NMA was performed, and the Surface Under the Cumulative Ranking Curve (SUCRA) was calculated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study included 131 RCTs, encompassing 11457 perimenopausal women diagnosed with emotional disorders. These trials evaluated three distinct treatment strategies. The NMA showed that the highest SUCRA probabilities were observed for drug_psych across HAMD (SUCRA\u00a0=\u00a092.4%), KI (SUCRA\u00a0=\u00a097.9%), SDS (SUCRA\u00a0=\u00a094.5%), PSQI (SUCRA\u00a0=\u00a098.1%), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) (SUCRA\u00a0=\u00a096.1%) reduction and estradiol (E2) (SUCRA\u00a0=\u00a00.1%) elevation; for AcuStim_psych (SUCRA\u00a0=\u00a093.7%) in HAMA reduction; for psych (SUCRA\u00a0=\u00a098.9%) in SAS reduction; for drug_AcuStim in clinical efficacy (SUCRA\u00a0=\u00a09.0%) and luteinizing hormone (LH) reduction (SUCRA\u00a0=\u00a0100%); and for control (SUCRA\u00a0=\u00a065.5%) in safety outcomes. In pharmacotherapy subgroup analyses, antidepressants (ADs)_Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) ranked highest for HAMD (SUCRA\u00a0=\u00a087.2%) and safety (SUCRA\u00a0=\u00a082%), ADs_antipsychotics (AP) (SUCRA\u00a0=\u00a097.5%) for HAMA, and ADs_hormone replacement therapy (HRT) (SUCRA\u00a0=\u00a010.2%) for clinical efficacy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pharmacological, acupoint stimulation, and psychological interventions each demonstrated therapeutic benefits for perimenopausal women with emotional disorders. Combination therapies generally showed more favorable efficacy across multiple psychological and endocrine outcomes than single-modality interventions, while no single treatment strategy was consistently superior across all outcomes. These findings may provide evidence to support individualized treatment selection according to patients\u2019 clinical characteristics and therapeutic goals.<\/jats:p>\n
