Effectiveness and Safety of Wangbi Preparations (尪痹制剂) Combined with Western Medicine for Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
To systematically assess the effectiveness and safety of
Wangbi preparations
(尪痹制剂) in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Methods
2
Databases including CNKI, Wanfang, CBM, MEDLINE, Embase, Cochran Library Trials, Clinical Trials and Web of Science were searched from the inception dates to July 12th, 2020 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on
Wangbi preparations
(
Wangbi
tablets, capsules, soluble granules, granules) combined with Western medicine for RA. Literature was screened by two independent researchers according to the inclusion criteria; the data were extracted, and the included researchers were appraised by two independent researchers. The Cochrane risk of bias tool was used to assess the methodological quality of the included RCTs. The outcomes included erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), morning stiffness time, joint swelling, joint tenderness, effective rate and adverse events. Revman 5.3 software was used to perform meta-analyses, and R 3.6.3 meta package was used for publication bias analysis.
Results
2
A total of 12 RCTs with low quality were included, involving 1182 participants. Compared to western medicine alone,
Wangbi preparations
in addition to western medicine can significantly lower the level of CRP (
MD
=-5.53, 95%
CI
[-8.25,-2.81]), shorten the morning stiffness time (
MD
=-13.75, 95%
CI
[-23.51,-4.00]), reducing joint tenderness (
MD
=-1.43, 95%
CI
[-2.55,-0.30]) and joint swelling (
MD
=-0.63, 95%
CI
[-1.13,-0.14]), lowering ESR in the early medication stage (
MD
=-25.20, 95%
CI
[-30.64, -19.76]), and reducing adverse events (
RR
=0.39, 95%
CI
[0.29,0.53]).
Conclusion
2
Wangbi preparations
combined with western medicine has better effectiveness and higher safety than western medicine alone in treating RA, with significant decrease in the level of CRP and improvement of symptoms. Nevertheless, considering the limited methodological quality and strength of evidence, more large-sample, high-quality RCTs are still necessary to verify the conclusion.
