Wendan decoction (温胆汤) for treatment of schizophrenia: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials
摘要
To assess the beneficial and adverse effects of Wendan Decoction (温胆汤
WDD) for the treatment of schizophrenia. Five electronic databases were searched until May 2014
including the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure
the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database
the Chinese Scientist Journal Database
PubMed
and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials in the Cochrane Library. The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) testing WDD against placebo
antipsychotic drugs
or WDD combined with antipsychotic drugs against antipsychotic drugs alone were included. Study selection
data extraction
quality assessment
and data analyses were conducted according to the Cochrane standards. Thirteen RCTs (involving 1
174 patients) were included and the methodological quality was evaluated as generally low. The pooled results showed that WDD combined with antipsychotic drugs were more effective in clinical comprehensive effect
Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) scores and Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale scores compared with antipsychotic drugs alone. However
WDD had less effectiveness compared with antipsychotics in clinical comprehensive effect; and WDD was not different from antipsychotic drugs for PANSS scores. The side effects were significantly reduced in the intervention group compared with the control group. WDD appears to be effective on improving symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. However
due to poor methodological quality in the majority of the included trials
the potential benefit from WDD needs to be confirmed in rigorous trials and the design and reporting of trials should follow the international standards.
