Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a non-organic disorder caused by gastroduodenal dysfunction, characterized by high prevalence and a tendency for recurrent episodes, which has made it a significant public health challenge. Current pharmacological treatments for FD have certain limitations, while acupuncture therapy demonstrates potential in alleviating patients’ symptoms due to its proven efficacy, standardized procedures, and favorable safety profile. However, there remains a lack of high-quality evidence-based medical evidence to inform clinical practice. Under the auspices of the National Key Research and Development Program of China, our research team established a guideline working group with the aim of systematically evaluating various acupuncture interventions for FD and developing an evidence-based clinical practice guideline for acupuncture treatment of FD, so as to establish optimal therapeutic strategies for patients.
