摘要

Chronic urticaria (CU) is characterized by repeated occurrence of wheals or itching for more than 6 weeks. When urticaria symptoms repeatedly occur despite taking Western medicines such as antihistamines

Chinese medicine (CM) has been shown to relieve symptoms and prevent recurrence. However

the lack of robust evidence from the evidence-based medicine perspective is hindering acceptance of CM by the Western medicine community. In recent years

more and more evidence-based studies of CU treatment by CM were report in English literatures

including acupuncture

herbs

and food

although some of evidence is still with low quality. These progress in CM treatment of CU will inspire high quality evidences via randomized

controlled trials assessing effificacy and safety of CM treatment of CU.

the lack of robust evidence from the evidence-based medicine perspective is hindering acceptance of CM by the Western medicine community. In recent years

more and more evidence-based studies of CU treatment by CM were report in English literatures

including acupuncture

herbs

and food

although some of evidence is still with low quality. These progress in CM treatment of CU will inspire high quality evidences via randomized
