CRD SUMMARY:

The authors concluded that acupuncture may reduce pain in patients with peripheral osteoarthritis (OA) and could be considered for patients with knee OA. Overall, this was a well-conducted and clearly reported review. The authors’ conclusions reflect limited evidence from a small number of studies and are likely to be reliable.
