English-language articles were included if the articles described randomized, controlled trials of the effects of needle or electroacupuncture (EA) on symptoms of osteoarthritis of the knee. Articles were excluded if they described case studies, unblinded, nonrandomized, or noncontrolled trials; used types of acupuncture other than needle or EA (such as bee venom acupuncture); studied types of arthritis other than osteoarthritis (such as rheumatoid); studied joints other than the knee; or were unavailable in English.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
