Background: As an alternative for salpingitis in IVF-ET, acupuncture has gradually attracted the attention of clinicians based on the theory of syndrome differentiation and treatment of Chinese traditional medicine. However, due to the lack of evidence-based medical evidence, the author designed the program to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture. Methods: From the beginning to August 2020, 7 electronic databases will be searched. Two of our researchers will independently conduct research selection, data extraction, and risk assessment of bias. We will use Review Manager 5.3 software for meta-analysis and heterogeneity assessment. In addition, we will use the grading of recommendations assessment, development, and evaluation to evaluate the evidence quality. Results: This study will demonstrate an evidence-based review of acupuncture for salpingitis in IVF-ET. Conclusion: The study will provide clear evidence to assess the effectiveness and side effects of acupuncture for salpingitis in IVF-ET. Trial registration number: INPLASY2020110125.
