Abstract
Background: Diabetic gastrointestinal motility dysfunction, a leading long-term complicationof diabetes, seriously affects the quality of life of the diabetes population. Apart from therapeutic drugs that control blood glucose levels and stimulants, acupuncture also play a critical role in the management of diabetic patients with gastrointestinal motility dysfunction symptoms. However, these therapeutic strategies and their effectiveness lack evidence. Therefore, this study was designed to systematically evaluate the curative effects of acupuncture for gastrointestinal motility disorder in diabetes.
 Methods: RCTs on acupuncture treating Diabetic gastrointestinal motility dysfunction will be searched from the databases, from their inception to June 2022. The main outcome of the study was gastrointestinal motility disorder symptom score and clinical efficiency. Study selection, data collection, and quality assessment were independently completed by researchers. We will perform the meta-analysis by using RevMan software. Heterogeneity was assessed using Cochran's Q test. If the heterogeneity was high, sensitivity and subgroup analysis were further carried out.
 Results:We will evaluate the curative effects of acupuncture for gastrointestinal motility disorder in diabetes.
 Conclusion:In this study, results will provide supportting evidence for the use of acupuncture in treating diabetic gastrointestinal motility dysfunction in clinical settings.
