The treatment of eczema with Chinese herbs: a systematic review of randomized clinical trials

N C Armstrong and E Ernst

Abstract

Aims

Chinese herbal treatments are being promoted as a treatment for eczema. The aim of this study was to systematically review the evidence for or against this notion.

Methods

Extensive literature searches were carried out to identify all randomised clinical trials on the subject. Data were extracted from these in a predefined standardized fashion.

Results

Only two randomized clinical trials were located. Both imply that a complex mixture of Chinese herbs is more effective than placebo in treating eczema. Yet several caveats exist, most importantly the lack of independent replication. Adverse effects have also been reported.

Conclusions

At present it is unclear whether Chinese herbal treatments of eczema do more good than harm.

Keywords: alternative medicine, complementary medicine, eczema, systematic review, traditional Chinese medicine

• 這結論明顯是錯誤的。不辨證用藥，最後都可以得出中藥無效的結論。 -kai2002- ♂ (0 bytes) () 06/19/2014 postreply 11:20:37
