Objective/Methods	To assess the efficacy of moxibustion for diabetic foot, and compile the findings of randomised clinical trials. China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database, Medicine, WanFang Database, Embase, Chinese Scientific Journal Database and Web of Science were from the establishment to January, 2024 were searched. Randomised controlled trials, which evaluated the effects of moxibustion were included.
Results	A total of 12 randomised controlled trials involving 1196 patients were included. According to the pooled results of this meta-analysis, effective rate (relative risk 1.16, 95% confidence intervals, CI [1.11, 1.22]), healing time (mean difference [MD] -6.27, 95% CI [-8.68, -3.86]), wound area (MD 3.46, 95% CI [0.84, 6.09]), and ankle brachial index (MD 0.14, 95% CI [0.03, 0.24]) were statistically significant compared to the control group.
Conclusion	This study suggests that moxibustion treatment has the potential for improving symptoms of diabetic foot. However, future in-depth research on the benefits and harms of moxibustion for the diabetic foot is needed before it can be accepted as an evidence-based treatment.
