Effects of acupuncture-related treatments on blood lipid levels in patients with coronary heart disease: A comprehensive review and network meta-analysis

Heat-sensitized moxibustion significantly lowered TG and LDL-C levels and elevated HDL-C levels. Acupuncture significantly reduced TC levels. Heat-sensitized moxibustion is a more effective intervention than other acupuncture-related treatments for regulating blood lipid levels in patients with CHD. However, this study has several limitations, and clinical practice should be performed as needed.
