Results are presented as the mean difference (95% confidence interval). The comparison must be read from left to right. A mean difference less than zero indicates that treatment on the left is favored in both pairwise and network meta-analyses. Bold value means a significant difference between the groups. AT = acupuncture, HM = herbal medicine, Moxa = moxibustion, and None = non-medical management.
