- The study investigated the efficacy and safety of Shufeng Jiedu (SFJD) capsules for managing mild to moderate COVID-19 symptoms through a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted in China from May to December 2022.
- A total of 407 participants completed the trial, with those taking SFJD experiencing faster symptom relief, with a median time of 7 days compared to 8 days for the placebo group.

Objectives: To evaluate the advantages of adding acupuncture to standard postoperative pain management for open radical prostatectomy (RP).
Materials And Methods: A randomized controlled trial (1:1:1) comparing routine postoperative analgesic care (control [CON]) vs the addition of press tack needle acupuncture (ACU) or press tack placebo acupressure (SHAM) for pain management after open RP was performed. A total of 126 patients were enrolled between February 2020 and April 2021.
Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease characterized by gradually increasing damage to the upper and lower motor neurons. However, definitive and efficacious treatment for ALS is not available, and oral intake in ALS patients with bulbar involvement is complicated due to swallowing difficulties.
Hypothesis/purpose: This study investigated whether the external plaster application of the herbal composition Ji-Wu-Li efficiently slows ALS progression because prior studies obtained promising evidence with oral herbal applications.
Background: Shufeng Jiedu capsule (SFJDC) has been widely used as a conventional Chinese pharmaceutical agent for various upper respiratory infections, including acute lung injury, acute respiratory distress syndrome and allergic rhinitis (AR). However, its mechanism in AR remains unclear.
Purpose: The present study aimed to decipher the antiallergic inflammatory effect of SFJDC in an AR model with olfactory dysfunction.
