Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of different Chinese patent medicines in the treatment of duodenal ulcer by network meta-analysis, so as to provide evidence-based basis for clinical medication.
METHODS Searched VIP, Wanfang, CNKI, PubMed, CBM, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and other databases, the published randomized controlled trials(RCTs) of Chinese patent medicine in the treatment of duodenal ulcer were included, and the retrieval time was limited to November 2023. Cochrane5.4 manual was used to evaluate the quality of the included RCTs. ADDIS software was used to compare and rank the results of Bayesian network meta-analysis.
RESULTS Ultimately, 23 RCTs were included, with a total sample size of 2 967 cases. Eleven oral Chinese patent medicines were analyzed. Network meta-analysis results showed: top 3 for response rate: Weifuchun tablets + chemical drugs > Weisu granules + chemical drugs > Zhikang capsules + chemical drugs; top 3 for Hp seroconversion: Jinghua Weikang capsules(softgels) + chemical drugs > Longqi Weikang tablets + chemical drugs > Puyuan Hewei capsules + chemical drugs; top 3 for acid reflux relief: Biling Weitong granules > Puyuan Hewei capsules > Jinghua Weikang capsules(Softgels) + chemical drugs; top 3 for gastric distension relief: Puyuan Hewei capsules > Jinghua Weikang capsules(Softgels) + chemical drugs > Biling Weitong granules; top 3 for abdominal pain duration: Jinghua Weikang capsules(Softgels) = Weisu granules + chemical drugs = Zhikang capsules + chemical drugs.
CONCLUSION In the treatment of duodenal ulcer using oral Chinese patent medicine regimens: Weifuchun tablets combined with chemical drugs is preferred to improve effective rate. For improving related clinical symptoms: Jinghua Weikang capsules(Softgels) combined with chemical drugs is most effective for Hp seroconversion; Biling Weitong granules are most effective in relieving acid reflux symptoms; Puyuan Hewei capsules is most effective in relieving gastric distension symptoms; Jinghua Weikang capsules(Softgels) combined with chemical drugs, Weisu granules combined with chemical drugs, and Zhikang capsules combined with chemical drugs are most effective in reduction of abdominal pain duration. Clinicians can reasonably and accurately select medication based on the patient's specific condition.
