Liu X, Xu Z, Wang Y, et al. - In the present study, the researchers sought to improve the reporting quality of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) by assessing RCTs of acupuncture for low back pain (LBP), which is defined by an area of pain that is typically localized between the edge of the ribs and the crease of the hips, based on the CONSORT and STRICTA statements. From 2010 to 2020, literature from the Cochrane Library, Medline, Embase, Ovid, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang database, and Chongqing Weipu (VIP) was systematically searched. In total, 31 RCTs were extracted in the final analysis. The quality of reporting in RCTs of acupuncture for LBP is moderate. To improve the quality of their studies, researchers should strictly adhere to the CONSORT and STRICTA statements.
