Abstract in brief

Acupuncture and acupressure have traditionally been used in China to treat women's health issues like PMS, but their effectiveness remains uncertain based on current evidence.
The review analyzed multiple international and Chinese databases up to 2017, including randomized controlled trials comparing acupuncture or acupressure to sham treatments, usual care, or medications, focusing on women with PMS or PMDD.
The overall findings on the safety and efficacy of these therapies are inconclusive, as the quality of evidence varied, and results were limited mainly to initial trial phases, underscoring the need for further high-quality research.]
