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

• 这结论明显是错误的。不辨证用药，最后都可以得出中药无效的结论。 -kai2002- ♂ (0 bytes) () 06/19/2014 postreply 11:20:37
