AB  - BACKGROUND: The decrease in estrogen levels during the perimenopausal period can 
      cause women to have various symptoms such as insomnia, emotional anxiety, and 
      even depression. Therefore, whether the green therapy of acupuncture can improve 
      the sleep quality and anxiety of perimenopausal women has attracted more and more 
      attention. The purpose of this systematic evaluation was to assess the efficacy 
      of acupuncture on insomnia and anxiety in perimenopausal women. METHODS: We will 
      search for clinical observational pilot studies or cohort studies of acupuncture 
      for insomnia, anxiety, or depression included in PubMed, Cochrane Library, 
      Embase, Web of science, China Knowledge Network (CNKI), Wanfang, VIP and China 
      Biomedical Database (CBM), etc. The search period will be from the establishment 
      of the database until November 2021. Two researchers will independently perform 
      literature screening, data extraction, and quality assessment. Finally, data 
      analysis will be performed using Revman and Stata software. RESULTS: The purpose 
      of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture therapy 
      for the treatment of insomnia, anxiety, and depression in perimenopausal women. 
      CONCLUSION: This study will provide new evidence on the effectiveness and safety 
      of acupuncture for the treatment of insomnia, anxiety, and depression in 
      perimenopausal women, and provide additional options for clinicians and patients 
      to improve insomnia and anxiety. REGISTRATION NUMBER: INPLASY2021120012.
