Abstract EN
Cough variant asthma (CVA) is a unique type of asthma characterized by cough as the only or primary clinical presentation.
Inhaled glucocorticoid is the main treatment in clinical practice currently, but its efficacy remains relatively unsatisfactory.
Traditional Chinese medicine has certain advantages in the treatment of CVA, and at present, the most commonly used traditional Chinese medicine is Suhuang Zhike Capsule (SZC).
The aim of this study was to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of SZC in the treatment of CVA using a meta-analysis.
A comprehensive search of papers published in the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Biomedical Literature database (CBM), Wanfang Database, and VIP Information (VIP) from January 2018 to June 2019 was conducted.
Review Manager 5.3 was used to carry out a meta-analysis of 10 studies that fulfilled the inclusion criteria.
In a total of 10 randomized controlled trials, 896 CVA patients were included.
The results showed the following: (1) compared with conventional Western medicine, SZC can effectively increase the efficacy rate of CVA (RR 1.25, 95% CI, 1.16–1.35, P<0.00001) and (2) compared with other traditional Chinese medicines, SZC can effectively increase the efficacy rate of CVA (RR 1.44, 95% CI, 1.01–2.05, P=0.05), In conclusion, our study builds on existing clinical evidence showing that SZC is safe and effective in treating CVA.
However, larger randomized controlled trials are required for further validation.
