Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives : Pityriasis rosea is an acute and subacute papular scaly disease, and is a disease that mainly resolves spontaneously. However, since the outbreak of COVID-19, the possibility that the disease may occur as a sequelae of the disease and side effects of vaccination has been announced.
Methods : We searched articles related to oriental treatment of pityriasis rosea at organized in domestic and foreign DBs. Articles were searched for RCT. The results were summarized in tables and graphs, and meta-analysis was performed. Also, we assessed the risk or bias.
Results : As a result of setting the herbal medicine alone treatment as an intervention for pityriasis rosea and Western medicine alone as the control group, total 9 articles were searched. We analyzed them and got the results. The efficient rate of the treatment group was statistically significantly higher than that of the control group. In addition, adverse events were significantly less in the treatment group than in the control group.
Conclusions : Herbal medicine treatment can be more effective than Western therapy(mainly anti-histamines and glycyrrhizin injection) for pityriasis rosea. In addition, herbal medicine treatment can be superior to Western treatment for safety. However, the limitations of this study include the small number of articles, no other evaluation indicators other than the efficient rate, and insufficient data such as pathological examination.
