Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The aim of this research was to investigate and review the trends in recent clinical studies of multiple system atrophy (MSA) in China.
Methods: We searched for clinical studies discussing Oriental medicine-based treatments for MSA in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database. The search focused on the authors; publication year; type of study; method and duration of treatment; evaluation criteria; and results of the selected articles.
Results: Among the articles retrieved from the database, eight case series, two randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and one non-randomized controlled trial (nRCT) were analyzed. Eight articles used acupuncture; ten used herbal medicine. The most frequently used acupoints were GV20, GV24, GB20, PC6, Hyeopcheok Acupoint, CV4, EX?HN3, and GV17. Jihwangeumja was the most commonly used herbal prescription. All 13 studies confirmed the efficacy of Oriental medicine treatments.
Conclusions: More varied and scientifically designed clinical studies are required to develop treatments for MSA. The results of this study may provide guidance for further studies of MSA.
