CRD SUMMARY:

This review and network meta-analysis compared many different treatments within a coherent framework. It found evidence to suggest that acupuncture could be considered as one of the more effective physical treatments for alleviating osteoarthritis knee pain in the short-term. Much of the evidence was of poor quality, meaning there is uncertainty about the efficacy of many physical treatments.
