A meta-analysis will be performed using RevMan V5.3 statistical software if possible; otherwise, descriptive analysis or subgroup analysis will be conducted. The quality of evidence for outcomes will be assessed with the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach.ResultsThis study will evaluate the effect and safety of auricular therapy in treating PCOS.ConclusionsThe evidence we generated from the present study will provide more options for PCOS management in clinical practice.The Registration Doi10.17605/OSF.IO/VBPSM.
