Effects of acupuncture treatment for myasthenia gravis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

This meta-analysis demonstrated that acupuncture as an auxiliary may play a positive role in treating MG. It can improve the effective rate of treatment, and reduce TCM relative clinical score, ACS of MG, and QMG. However, the quality of included studies was generally low and caution should be exercised when considering this treatment option. In the future, more rigorous study designs and high-quality RCTs are needed to verify the efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of MG, because the results of high-quality RCTs are more reliable and accurate.
