Traditional Chinese medicine intervention for autism spectrum disorders: A protocol for systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in social communication, social interaction, and restrictive or repetitive behaviors. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been used in the clinical management of ASD, especially in mainland China, where studies have shown promising efficacy. However, this remains to be further explored and clarified. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of conventional treatment-based TCM interventions for ASD. ⋯ This study will help patients recover better, provide clinical evidence for practitioners, and promote the use of TCM in ASD interventions.
