Effect of Jianpi therapy in treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a systematic review.
To evaluate the efficacy of Jianpi therapy in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in stable phase by performing a systematic review and meta-analysis. ⋯ The experience in TCM-WM treatment of COPD in stable phase was encouraging. The current evidence shows that TCM-WM treatment might be more efficient in effective rate, quality of life, and FVC than WM treatment alone. But for forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and FEV1/FVC, no matter TCM-WM treatment compared with WM treatment alone or TCM treatment compared with placebo, there was no significant difference, with no obvious adverse reactions. Due to the low methodological quality of trials included, more RCTs of high quality in large scale are required.
