Title
Correction of Breech Presentation with Moxibustion and Acupuncture
Review Question
The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of moxibustion and acupuncture in correcting breech presentation.
Study Type Included
We will select eligible studies based on the following inclusion criteria: (1) the study was an RCT. Studies will be excluded based on the following criteria: (1) the study was non-randomized, quasi-experimental, observational, qualitative, or did not involve human subjects.
Condition Being Studied
Breech presentation is a common malposition in the third trimester of pregnancy. Serious complications, such as traumatic injuries or asphyxia, can occur during vaginal delivery. Some non-invasive therapies are available, including knee-chest position management and external cephalic version (ECV). However, there is insufficient evidence to support knee-chest position management, and ECV is a painful procedure for pregnant women.
Participant
We will select eligible studies based on the following inclusion criteria: (1) pregnant women in the 28th-35th week of gestation with a normal pregnancy and an ultrasound diagnosis of breech (non-vertex) presentation are included.
Animal
Human Disease Modelled
Intervention
The interventions will be consisted of moxibustion alone, traditional acupuncture or electro-acupuncture alone, or moxibustion and acupuncture combined.Moxibustion and acupuncture have a long history in the treatment of various problems, including fetal malposition. The interventions are similar because they both stimulate acupoints to achieve a therapeutic effect. Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese procedure that utilizes the heat generated from a burning moxa stick (made from herbal preparations containing Artemisia vulgaris) to stimulate acupuncture points.
Comparator Control
We will select eligible studies based on the following inclusion criteria: (1) comparisons between interventions and control measures (e.g., observation, usual care, or knee-chest position).
Main Outcome
The primary outcome will be the fetal presentation at birth. Measures of effect The primary outcome will be presented as relative risks.
Outcome Measure
Additional Outcome
The secondary outcome will be adverse events. Measures of effect The secondary outcome will be presented as relative risks.
