Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of herbal medicine treatment for glucose and lipid metabolic abnormalities caused by polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).
Methods: We searched for randomized controlled clinical trials(RCTs) in 6 electronic databases and search keywords were ‘PCOS’ and ‘ chinese medicine’ or ‘herbal medicine’ and ‘Metabolic syndrome’ or ‘glucose’ or ‘lipid’. The results of the studies were analyzed and the risk of bias was assessed by using Cochrane risk of bias(RoB) tool.
Results: We finally selected 7 studies. In 3 of selected studies, herbal medicine was more effective than western medicine in all outcomes and in other 3 selected studies, herbal medicine was partially more effective than western medicine.
Conclusions: The study provides a basis for applying herbal medicine treatment to patients with metabolic syndrome caused by PCOS and helps developing a treatment protocol of caring patients with PCOS. But the limitation of this study is that the number of studies included is small and lack of uniformity of outcome indicators made it difficult to observe overall interrelationship between indicators.
