Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common and frequently occurring disease that seriously endangers health, causing a heavy economic burden on patients and society. Acupuncture has been reported to have a therapeutic effect on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, compared with medications, it is difficult to identify a superior therapy. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture, conventional drug and acupuncture plus conventional drug in the treatment of COPD. Methods: This was a multicenter, open-label randomized controlled trial (RCT) through a central randomization system. A total of 150 COPD patients were randomly assigned at a 1:1:1 ratio to the acupuncture group, conventional drug group or acupuncture plus conventional drug group for 12 weeks of treatment, followed by 12 weeks of untreated follow-up. The primary outcomes included the six-minute walk distance (6MWD) and St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), and the secondary outcomes included the modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (mMRC), acute exacerbation, lung function, and quality of life (COPD assessment test). Statistical analysis was conducted via SPSS software (version 26.0). Results: A total of 150 patients were included in the study, and 143 patients completed the trial. There were time effects, group effects and interaction effects in the three groups (P 0.05). Among the secondary outcomes, there were time effects on the number of acute exacerbations, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) at different time points in the three groups (P
