Effect of acupuncture on menopausal depressive disorder and serum hormone levels: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Shunxia He, Zhijie Wang, Shiqiu Dong, Shiqiu Dong, Yuzi Diao, Hongwei Qiao, Xiaoguang Lin, Xiao Gao, Xiao Gao

“…BackgroundMenopause, marked by ovarian decline and hormonal shifts, increases vulnerability to depressive disorders, with menopausal depressive disorder (MDD) affecting 33–36% of women via psychosocial-biological interactions. Acupuncture shows promise in improving MDD through neuroendocrine regulation but lacks robust evidence, with unclear links to reproductive hormone modulation; this study evaluates its efficacy and safety.MethodsA comprehensive database search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, EBSCO, Scopus, Cnki, Wan Fang and VIP Database to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the impact of acupuncture on menopausal depressive disorder. …”
