Background:Acupuncture has been widely used to relieve migraine-related symptoms.However,the findings of previous systematic reviews(SRs)and meta-analyses(MAs)are still not completely consis-tent.Their quality is also unknown,so a comprehensive study is needed.Objective:To evaluate the reporting and methodological quality of these MAs concerning acupuncture for migraine,and summarize evidence about the efficacy and safety of acupuncture for migraine.Search strategy:PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library,China National Knowledge Infrastructure,Chinese Biomedical Databases,Wanfang Data,and VIP databases were searched from inception to September 2020,with a comprehensive search strategy.Inclusion criteria:The pairwise MAs of randomized controlled trials(RCTs)concerning migraine treated by acupuncture or acupuncture-based therapies,with a control group that received sham acupuncture,medication,no treatment,or acupuncture at different acupoints were included.Data extraction and analysis:Two independent investigators screened studies,extracted relevant data,and assessed reporting and methodological quality using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses(PRISMA)2009 and A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews 2(AMSTAR 2),then all results were cross-checked.Spearman correlation test was used to evaluate the cor-relation between reporting and methodological quality scores.Results:A total of 20 MAs were included in this study.The included MAs indicated that acupuncture was efficacious and safe in preventing and treating migraine when compared with control intervention.There was a high correlation between reporting and methodological quality scores(rs=0.87,P＜0.001).The quality of the included SRs needs to be improved mainly with regard to protocol and prospective regis-tration,using a comprehensive search strategy,summarizing the strength of evidence body for key out-comes,a full list of excluded studies with reasons for exclusion,reporting of RCTs'funding sources,and assessing the potential impact of risk of bias in RCTs on MA results.Conclusion:Acupuncture is an effective and safe intervention for preventing and treating migraine,and could be considered as a good option for patients with migraine.However,the reporting and method-ological quality of MAs included in this overview is suboptimal.In the future,AMSTAR 2 and PRISMA tools should be followed when making and reporting an SR with MA.
