Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Poststroke dyskinesia is the most common clinical symptom after stroke, which greatly affects the patients' daily life. Eye-acupuncture is an effective method for stroke. And the rehabilitation training has been widely used for patients suffer from stroke. However, whether eye-acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training has greater clinical efficacy for poststroke dyskinesia is still unknown. Our aim in this systematic review was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of eye-acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training (EACRT) as a treatment for dyskinesia after stroke. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We will search the following 4 databases of registered trials and 7 electronic databases from inception to March 2021:Cochrane Stroke Group, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled, the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry; PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, CNKI, VIP, WanFang, and CBM. All relevant randomized controlled trials focus on EACRT will be included. The primary outcome will be the Fugl-Meyer Assessment. The Secondary outcomes will include Activity of Daily Living, clinical effective rate and the Visual Analogue Score. Two reviewers will independently conduct the Study selection and data extraction. The data synthesis and assessment of risk of bias will be performed by RevMan5.2. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The ethical approval is unnecessary that systematic review is based on published articles other than patients. The results of this meta-analysis will be published in an open access (OA) journal according to the Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA).
