Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Yangxue Qingnao Granules when used alongside standard Western medicine for treating essential hypertension and its symptoms.
- A meta-analysis of 34 randomized controlled trials, involving 4,532 patients, revealed significant reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, as well as improvements in several symptoms like dizziness, insomnia, and headaches when compared to Western medicine alone.
- Subgroup analyses suggested that combining Yangxue Qingnao Granules with ACE inhibitors showed the most significant impact on blood pressure reduction.
To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tianma Gouteng Granules combined with conventional anti-hypertensive drugs in the treatment of essential hypertension. The clinical randomized controlled trials(RCTs) on the treatment of essential hypertension with Tianma Gouteng Granules combined with conventional anti-hypertensive drugs were searched in PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, VIP, CNKI, Wanfang, SinoMed since the establishment of the databases to April 2020 based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and Meta-analysis was conducted by using RevMan 5.3 software.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of Songling Xuemaikang Capsules when used alongside conventional Western medicine for treating essential hypertension, reviewing data from various clinical trials up to February 2020.
- Meta-analysis of 27 randomized controlled trials involving 3,100 patients shows that this combination significantly reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure, triglycerides, and total cholesterol, while increasing HDL cholesterol, compared to Western medicine alone.
- The findings suggest no significant difference in LDL cholesterol levels and imply that the reductions in blood pressure may be associated with specific types of medications, highlighting the need for more clinical studies to confirm these results.
