Abstract: Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of acupoint catgut embedding in the treatment of allergic rhinitis based on the “lung and spleen” theory. Methods An internet search was conducted for randomized controlled trials related to acupoint catgut embedding in the treatment of allergic rhinitis published in the CNKI(2000.1-2021.2), VIP(2000.1-2021.2), WANGFANG(2000.1-2021.2), and Pubmed(2000.1-2020.2)databases. Two researchers separately carried out screening on the selected documents and focused on: quality evaluation and extraction of relevant data. RevMan 5.4 was used for meta-analysis. Results A total of 12 articles comprising 931 cases met the inclusion criteria. The results of the meta-analysis showed that the effective rate of the acupoint catgut embedding group was better than that of the control group(RR=1.29, 95%CI: 1.22, 1.38, P<0.000 1). The recurrence rate of the acupoint catgut embedding group was compared with that of the control group and the difference was statistically significant(RR=0.3, 95%CI: 0.16, 0.55, P<0.000 1). Furthermore, when the total score of signs and symptoms in the acupoint catgut embedding group was compared before and after treatment with the control group, and the difference was statistically significant [SMD=-0.97,95%CI(-1.51,-0.43),P=0.000 4]. Conclusion The Meta-analysis of the included articles showed that the acupoint embedding method is more effective in the treatment of allergic rhinitis and has a lower recurrence rate. However, the limited quality and quantity of the included articles must have created a publication bias. Therefore, the above analysis and conclusions require further research and investigation.
